This is the message:

"The file attachment info.exe you sent to the recipients listed above was infected with the New Poly Win32 virus and was deleted."

The info from antivirus site is:
Virus Characteristics:
This is a heuristic detection which indicates that a file is possibly infected with a Polymorphic Win32 virus.
Mad

The file is a small single section PE and obviously there is no viruses in it or viral techniques at all.
I wonder if antivirus is detecting only because is only one section.

Yeah, those heuristics are very suspicious.

Pelaillo,

The same thing happen with the DLLs from the masm32 package - false
alarm.

What about the latest project on your scripting engine?
