I’m just curious and doing some test with Dev-Cpp which I downloaded from Bloodshed for development IDE for C++, but for some reason, my AVG (Free Edition) detected as Trojan horse Generic 12.FKN for some reason. Their heuristic detection is quite aggressive, isn’t it?

My code is just 11-lines of code and its very simple though.
