AVAST Blocking Delphi creation of EXE

Viruses and worms
1

All of a sudden AVAST will not allow me to compile a new project in Delphi 7. The project compiles and links but as soon as the IDE tries to create the exe Avast pops up with message MALWARE BLOCKED. Win32:Malware-gen (see attachment). All old projects (with already created exe’s) compile and run without problems - this only happens with new projects.

I have done a boot time scan as well as a full scan both of which shows up clean. I have also done a scan with Malwarebytes with also a clean result.

Maybe an AVAST setting causes this?

Could anyone perhaps help? Thanks.

Delphi is known to cause these FPs from time to time because misinterpretations of generic scanning of packer protection,
