No it is not a threat. Most antivirus software catch this as a threat but just ignore it.

Old news... not a virus... says in the faq that its the way he compiled it that causes it to be set off by antivirus software

Old news can be new news depending on whose ears such news falls upon...

LOL JAJA WOW!! love how this is posted where it is which is a common mistake among the less than 100posts crowd. but yea I've never had this detected by any antivirus programs I've had since 09 which were McAfee,Norton and MSE.

I use nod32 for AV and Olipro uses symantec and those don't detect it as a virus. it's the packer we used that some AV software don't like.

That seems like really weak evidence to me. Basically you're admitting that you don't know and are just taking someone else's word. After all this time wouldn't antivirus makers know about the false positive and fix their software.

like cmonex said , its the packer used that throws a flag for the AV program . I used zonealarm , norton , and viper , all three which are ranked highly as the best pc protection one could have , and they never picked it up as a threat . its just due to how the exe was packaged and made into an executable . it is nothing to worry about . I personally love Olipro for his awesome work !
