    First of all: you need to be more specific when writing tickets. What antivirus do you use? Which release was the latest at the time you wrote the ticket?

    Yes, 32 bit executable of r11 my compiler produces seems to trigger false positive virus alert for few immature antiviruses. Look at the leaders: Kaspersky, DrWeb, Symantec and Microsoft. They all report the file safe. I assure you the file is not infected, and I didn't put any malicious code in it.

    To be absolutely sure - you can analyze the code yourself. It is all here. Compile it yourself - that way you can be sure you get exactly what the code does, with nothing secretly added.

    And note that 64 bit version triggers no virus alerts at all. Use it to be safe. I advice you to always use the 64 bit version, unless your OS is 32 bit OS. It makes use of all the sweet memory your PC has.
