    I am a professional programmer.
    I am currently writing a program to uninstall an application.
    Every time I either compile or copy the executable somewhere I get a big "Infection!" pop-up with unknown heuristic virus found message.

    I need to find a way round this for my clients.
    I can hardly include an explanation to ignore the infection warning.:(

    It seems to be related to the fact that I have to write to the runonce Key in the registry as I need to do a reboot during the process.

    Plenty of other installer/uninstallers I run (from others) do not trigger this behavior.

    Can someone (from Eset?) explain the problem and how to code round it?
    It is DEFINITELY not a virus:)

    Thanks,
    Clive.

    Thanks. I did figure that one out eventually.
    OK. I will give that a try.
    Sounds like a good plan.

    I would still like to understand what is actually triggering the alert, and, if it is the write to the runonce Key, wont Nod32 still catch it when it actually tries to do this at runtime?

    Clive.
