Avast 8 and Autohotkey

Viruses and worms
1

Hello together
Suddenly I have the problem, that I cant compile my Scripts to an exe file. Avast warns, that there is a Virus (Win32:Evo-gen[susp] in the Ahk2EXE.exe Compiler. I have the newest Compiler and I compile to the V 1.1.9.4 ANSI-32Bit-Mode (the other Modes are making the same problem). What can I do. I need the exe-Files!

I have the same problem with Avast 8 and Autohotkey 1.1.9.4.
Warning about Win32:Evo-gen[susp] if I try to compile the ahk-script with Ahk2Exe.exe. And any AHK script that is compiled to an executable will get the same warning.
On my desktop I got around it by adding an exclusion to the file system shield, but on my laptop that does not work, and I have to turn the protection off completely to use the executables!

I’m having the exact same problem. My autohotkey compiled exe’s are coming up with a Win32:Evo-gen[susp]
I have logged a ticket like you have suggested Pondus but so far I havent gotten a reply.
Any progress on why this is occuring? It’s important that i fix it asap. Using Autohotkey ANSI 32-bit compiler v1.1.9.4

Thanks
