Running certain code in codeblocks sets off AVG?

[burgergetsbored]

I disabled AVG, and uploaded the file to virus total which scanned it and 8/41 anti viruses found an agent trojan. https://www.virustotal.com/file/84c5...is/1341587771/

First of all, the compiler and linker that produces your code is not CodeBlocks. The compiler and linker combination is the Gnu compiler and linker (g++, and ld). All CodeBlocks does is give you an integrated environment so you can run these tools.

The g++ compiler is used by literally thousands of persons and companies around the world and on various hardware and operating systems. I highly doubt that there is any issue with the compiler and linker with AVG, since so many around the world use these tools and would have reported the issue. Maybe you have a virus or trojan on your system that attaches itself to your executables that you build.

Right just went to the extreme of creating a windows XP virtual machine, installing codeblocks and AVG free on it. I then ran the program on that and got the exact same warning from AVG. I also tried it on the pc in the other room which AVG detected, and finally AVG detected it on the online scanning utility "virus total". So I'm guessing It must be a problem with AVG and not my computer then.
