Hello,
I would discount Avast and Avira as real antivirus programs because they
have reliably false flagged open source projects (FuhQuake, ezQuake,
etc) and cracked game executables.
Best regards,

Yeah, that's one of the things were AVast (and other AV applications
too) has gotten really bad. Anything that even remotely looks like
"messing" directly with the hard drive is being flagged as potentially
malicious. Same goes for a lot of self-developed software, simply due
to the fact that the AV scanners are trying to detect malware not
based on actual malware code, but common library code used by standard
compilers. This might be less of a problem these days for "modern"
Windows or Linux code, specially when written using MS compilers (or
gcc in case of Linux), because it is very common. But DOS based code
is rather rare these days, less samples for the AV scanners and thus a
higher rate of false positives... :(
