Default Re: IMOGen Test Card & Teletext Generator

What Jeffrey is referring to is that the earlier versions didn't contain the Microsoft version info resource (the fields you see when you view the properties of an executable through right clicking on it) whose absence tends to upset some virus scanners (Avast, for one). However, I have now added the resource in v1.07.

I've never had a threat warning reported for this app before, other than because of the anomoly mentioned above. I have downloaded the version posted online, verified it hasn't been modified from my master and have run it through two anti virus scanners, AVG and Avast, which both report no threat found.

I would suggest that you are receiving a false positive based on Symantec's heuristic analysis of the file contents. It's written in BBC Basic for Windows and this is not an unknown occurrance with BB4W apps and some aniti virus programs.

Of course, the ultimate decision is always going to be yours
