I don't believe it has anything to do with AHK being free.<BR/><BR/>I am also not aware of which AV's don't have issues with it. I haven't had too much in the way of problems with AVG Free, but I have had other false positives from AVG that really annoyed me, and some of them with my own software. <BR/><BR/>I wrote a Javascript game and used an application that allows you to bundle an entire website, graphics & all into an .exe file. AVG went nuts over it, claiming it was spyware and nothing I did would allow it to be excluded. I kept getting warnings every time I rebooted my machine till I deleted the compiled version of the game. I eventually recompiled it with something else it didn't have an issue with.<BR/><BR/>A friend had a similar experience with compiling one of his Javascript games with the same thing I used.<BR/><BR/>There are also quite a few anti-spyware applications that are not friendly to Delphi developers, and will flag certain source code files that are never distributed with your compiled application (unless it's open source) as a Kazaa trojan, based on file extension alone. They never flag the compiled executable, though. If an anti-spyware app calls my source to a simple notepad application a Kazaa trojan, I know right away it's crap and to uninstall it. Regular people and non-Delphi developers don't usually have the luxury of that kind of test, though.<BR/><BR/>The big problem is if you are making things for yourself, having an AV that doesn't have an issue with AHK is fine, but you really can't control what AV other people run on their own machines, and distribution is where you will run into this problem, constantly.Apphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-37578745848707563812009-01-02T06:38:00.000-05:002009-01-02T06:38:00.000-05:00I have struck this problem in the past too.

Funny how a free program gets less play with the big AV companies than commercial ventures. <BR/>Does anyone know of any AV product that does work properly with AHK?Matt Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500957239394469121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-54800173763860301442008-12-11T22:19:00.000-05:002008-12-11T22:19:00.000-05:00Wow!

I feel so honored. :-D<BR/><BR/>You have created an impressive collection of scripts that not only serve as tools for those that wish to use them, but as the greatest collection of example code to learn from.<BR/><BR/>You have gone out of your way and provided so much for so many, without ever asking for anything in return. Your generosity and skill is inspiring.<BR/><BR/>It's developers like you that motivated me to make this post.<BR/><BR/>To those that know you, something like this couldn't possibly tarnish your name. <BR/><BR/>But for those that don't, it's unfair that these companies are allowed to drag your reputation through the mud, like they do.<BR/><BR/>And it is unfair to those that aspire to follow in your footsteps, that they are handed an unfair disadvantage and never given a chance to develop a reputation they deserve, based on their skills, and instead are branded incorrectly as malware creators.<BR/><BR/>Nobody should have to endure this kind of abuse because of their choice in programming language.Apphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-58911119489122941612008-12-08T10:24:00.000-05:002008-12-08T10:24:00.000-05:00Great initiative, guys!Great initiative, guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-40891347851068245702008-12-06T15:58:00.000-05:002008-12-06T15:58:00.000-05:00Thanks, mouser.Thanks, mouser.Apphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04973805741360160102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24223743.post-64326425318654018432008-12-06T15:44:00.000-05:002008-12-06T15:44:00.000-05:00Amen!!Great essay app.Amen!!<BR/>Great essay app.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
