I dont know why all of a sudden Avira is picking this up.

I'm sure there is NO MALWARE what so ever in simba but what is it picking up that might be causing this?

Wizzup? ?

This is 977

false alarm, just ignore it? Ive had avira think half my exe files are corrupted.

I know i do ignore it. I have to disable Avira though just for it to run.

Its bs.

Im pretty sure you can add an exception for that particular file.

How on earth would that get into Simba.exe?

http://analysis.avira.com/samples/ upload it?

Just uploaded it Kave, thanks for the suggestion.

Now lets see how long it takes.

windows 8 built in protector detects that too, I reported it to microsoft though

Sounds interesting, although I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with mopar's autobuilds, which is the main distribution we've been using for months. :)

I wonder what that Offend.KD.454412.1 even is, though.

I'd guess it's your auto-updating code that's triggering it, that looks like a generic trojan detection.

Edit: My other guess is that the latest release just happens to have a checksum equal to that of known malware.

F-Secure Deepguard also detects Simba as malware when I'm compiling it (has done so for a while now, though).
