Why is my simple VB.net application being treated as a virus?

lolcocks123 · 2017-09-14T19:16:24.000Z

I just made a simple application in VB.net that adds 1 registry entry and removes exactly 1 registry entry and for some reason my application is being treated as a virus for some reason.

“Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]”

How can I prevent this from happening to my application?
Is there any code I can change to prevent this?

avast doesn’t say it is a virus.
It says susp(icious).
