I suspect it's a false positive based on my own experience. You can probably get the same answer from their forums. I've run into the same issues on a different (VB) program, one I wrote myself kept being tagged as a virus by Avira. I discovered finally that the reason was Avira at that time detected a setup.exe file in an unexpected location but it never said so. It just dug up a name and said I was infected by xxxx. After some hair pulling and digging I discovered it was triggering on a setup.exe in the VB folder. First I deleted the file and the problem went away. Put the file back, problem came back. Moved the file to Program Files and the problem stayed gone! Avira was declaring a virus based simply on PATH! Then from reading the groups there I decided Avira was using their install base to do BETA testing with but not saying so ... I got a support guy to admit it in so many words. That was the last time I used Avira!
