I have a big problem, all exe created with Delphi XE2 compiler and downloaded from a website gives
Drep fault and can not be downloaded anymore. ( also cannot find what type of fault this is )
Can I reset this in avast?
When scanning local exe with avast no problem.
virustotal scanning no problem also with url scanning and upload file scanning.
Tested with bitdefender no problem and other antivirus programs no problem.
Searched other developer forums all have big problems with avast. and developing programs.
There are several reasons why an Anti Virus product might trigger on a Delphi produced exe, a few common reasons are:
Lots of viruses are written in Delphi and therefore your exe might have some code parts that look the same as existing viruses.
The import table of your program is used to determine what your exe might do, for instance linking to Credentials Management or Disk Management functions triggers some AV’s.
As suggested before try scanning your release version with online services such as Virustotal or Jotti and always report your false positives to vendors instead of trying to prevent being a false positive. My experience is that AV vendors react quite fast on submission.

I would suggest that we, the little developers, do ourselves a little favor by downloading each-others files, while we are running Avast. This way Avast will see enough downloads from the domain to mark either the domain as safe, or the number of downloads adequate to raise the ban.
