In the past some of these were driven by Optlink making an executable that is not quite like what MS tools make, so, hey, "Possible Virus". Blech.
Yeah, I was bitten by this too, antiviruses started barfing at my Win32 app when it was statically linked with libjpeg, while the lib file itself and the app without this lib linked in were accepted by the same antiviruses as clean.
I understand DMD is now linked by Optlink. How hard would it be to try linking it with MS linker? This could be a workaround, otherwise we might soon find dlang.org blocked by major browsers and antimalware systems.
