False Positive Of Virus

Viruses and worms

(Apologies if this is in the wrong section)

Hey, I’m a Uni student that dabbles in some basic programming for personal use. I recently created a program that when executed it runs a batch file that uses a 3rd party program, contig, to do various tasks. I made this mainly to shutdown my pc after x amount of time (however it can do other tasks with just a simple batch file edit.). I have written this in visual basic, however once i first compiled and ran it, avast popped up telling me it was a trojan ( Win32:PoisonIvy-EY [trj] ).

I know I have a clean machine, why is it recognising this a s a virus? And is there anyway that I could make avast ignor this particular file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
