[fpc-pascal] Compiled program is a virus (seems to be internallinker problem)

[Gerhard Scholz]

I switched to AVAST free Antivirus now, the problem does not occur here.

This is not a pascal question, but maybe can give me a hint if AVAST is good
or which software is more recommendable.
(I do not really trust the tests I find in the internet because I do not 
know
who pays them)
