[quakenet] <Nils_> @matricks Why did my Avira Free Antivirus say that the "txt2x.exe" from bam is an Virus?

[quakenet] <matricks> Nils_: where did you get it from?

[quakenet] <matricks> Nils_: you compiled it yourself?

[quakenet] <Nils_> When I try, my antivirus program reports the virus in the txt2c.exe.

[quakenet] <matricks> either false alarm, or your compiler is infected / faulty etc

18:41

[quakenet] <matricks> does it say which virus it detects?

18:43

[quakenet] <Nils_> Yes, "HEUR/APC"

How do I know if this is a false positive or not?

I downloaded a utility tool to mod a game which is widely known and used in that game's community, got straight from the developer's direct link. I scanned it before running it with both Avira and MB

[quakenet] <matricks> dunno what causes it to trigger
