AVG Detecting EXE as Infected
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

It was brought to our attention and in testing we discovered that AVG antivirus incorrectly reports that all windows based EXE files in the distribution are infected. This is happening because we pack our EXE files with UPX which allows them to compile to a smaller size. This bug report is a placeholder to indicate that anybody running AVG on their systems may see this issue although there is no threat in using the software.
Antivirus Scan Results - as you can see this is a false positive
