bogus warning: Win32.RedDwarf

i just wanted to report a bogus warning in the program engine. apparently, executable files compiled from batch files with batch file compiler return an infection alert by the worm Win32.RedDwarf. of course this kinda scared the heck out of me, because i wasn’t expecting my files to have any viruses at all. this might happen under other similar conditions too, so i thought it would be alright to report my findings.

Please send the file in question to me, divis@avast.com. Please send it as password protected archive (zip, rar or similar). The password protection is essential - the mail might be dropped as infected otherwise. There is no need to use a difficult password or strong encryption, password like “virus” or “false” and standard Win(Zip, Rar) password protection will do.
