Old basic programs compiled from source detected as positive

Viruses and worms
1

Hello,

Amazing : 2 old basic programs compiled from source with BC (the Quick Basic compiler) and squeezed with the PKLITE tool from PkWare are detected positive by Avast Pro.

Sources, build batches and tools to try : http://www.zshare.net/download/193271886fe27648/

SNDPTR.EXE and SERATA.EXE are seen positive, but SNDPTRM.EXE not.

All tools (BC.EXE, LINK.EXE, BCOMxx.LIB and PKLITE.EXE) are virus free and have been checked against the original distributed packages.

I guess that PKLITE is doing the trick, because this tool my have been used to squeeze lots of viruses. But this may indicate that lots of virus-free programs may induce false-positive as well.

Any advice or comment ?

Best regards.
