The false positives that some virus programs return are typically due to the fact that our executable is different that what they expect. Specifically, it doesn't have all the unnecessary crap that typical compilers churn out -- only what's essential, and nothing more. Some programs also object to files with no extension (like .txt or .src). We left these off since they're not very English-like.
