Every time I compile a file, Symantec Corporate AV 10.5 detects the resulting .EXE file as a Trojan Horse and promptly deletes it.

This is false positive.

I understand that it was a false positive. Any other .EXE that had been previously created wasn't caught as a Trojan. The act by which the compile was created caused the AV software to believe the resulting .EXE was in fact a Trojan; thereby deleting the file before it could even be placed. As I stated, the issue has cleared and I have no idea why it was doing it.

Trend Micro is claiming that %Programfiles%\Quick Batch File Compiler\stubg.DLL is Troj_Generic.CON You may wish to contact them about this.

Trend is also flagging everything made by QBFC as a virus too! Someone needs to straighten them out!

Are they just going to blacklist this version too? Putting out a binary with a different signature will keep it from being snagged, for now. But what really needs to happen is the owher of QBFC to contact Trend and propose legal action if Trend fails to immediately cease harassing his customers and slandering his product.
