>>Avast anti-virus software finds a virus called Win32:Rbot-FVC in my VFP 9.0 executable while Norton and AVG don’t locate any viruses. Avast doesn’t find the virus in the development version, only in the run-time version. It would be nice to find that Avast is generating a false finding. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

I contancted Avast. They wrote back saying they changed their virus dictionary and that I should test it again. I did. No change. Same false positive. Hopefully they will make a patch.
