Works fine here.
(Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit under Wine)
I've got this (fabulous) program I'm going to post here and also share with some non-TB people. thinBundle does a great job of making a clean executable -- stand-alone with no install. But for some reason, my Norton antivirus doesn't like it. For a local TB.exe, it deletes it, but I can restore it. For a TB.exe on the internet, it deletes it, so I have to turn Norton off for awhile.
Has anybody else had this happen? A friend of mind didn't have a problem -- I think he has the AVG antivirus. I've posted a simple "Hello world" program atHTML Code:http://dbarc.net/helloworld.exe

Here your application is working fine. I use "Microsoft Security Essential" and at work I have "Trend Office Scan Corporate edition"
I've also used online virus scan at http://virscan.org/ to check your example and found anything, see attached PDF scan result
It is (of course) a false positive and it can happen time to time because thinBundle uses techniques also possibly used in bad applications:
What to do?
- reduce executable size using EXE compression
- memory execution on the fly of components (dlls)
Than I will try to send this material to Symantec support area.
- be sure your have you AV up to date to the latest version and av database signature
- please let me know exactly what Norton application you have (name and version) and what is the version of the database signature
- please let me know exactly what your AV indicates as virus: virus name and other details
I've already done this for other AV software companies and all of them were very responsible. For them having a false positive is a bad situation for their credibility.

In the past, I had a problem with NOD32 and Oxygen, but I wrote them about the issue, sent a link to Charles website and they removed the false positive in next update.

I have an up-to-date NIS (Norton Internet Security) 18.6.0.29
On your VirSCAN.pdf I see Symantec 1.3.0.24.
I've attached related screenshots (4-in-1)
top: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
http://dbarc.net/helloworld.exe
1) NIS info (NIS 18.6.0.29)
2) Download info (helloworld.exe)
3) First NIS message (threat found)
4) Detail NIS info showing "threat removed"
So it's not detecting a virus, just few users?
By turning NIS off, things work fine.
I'll be glad to do any further testing. Thanks, Dave
Symantec report this thread as the following: http://www.symantec.com/security_res...051308-1854-99
So it is not a virus but a series of reports got from Symantec cloud system interacting with Symantec users.
Can you please make the following try:
- rename your "helloworld.tBasic" in something else like "MyFirstTBApp.tBasic" and bundle it again to see if something change?
I have the suspect in this case of threat the name matters.- do the rename as in point 1 but create your executable again using thinBasic beta version you can download from http://www.thinbasic.biz/projects/th...ic_1.9.0.0.zip
If nothing will change, I will use Symantec while listing at https://submit.symantec.com/whitelist/isv/
or false positive web form at https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/

You could try unpacking the bundle
http://upx.sourceforge.net/download/upx307d.zip
I make a bat file and drop the upx.exe and bat in the root of the thinbasic folder, it will make the file bigger but not by much. It helps with virus scanning because they don't have to unpack the file to scan it.
bat file :

Eros,
OK, I made 2 executables:
1) MyFirstTBAppA.tBasic under my 1.8.9.0
Posted at dbarc.net/MyFirstTBAppA.exe (case sensitive)
Uses "Console"
printl "Hello world A"
printl "(Under thinBasic 1.8.9.0)"
waitkey
2) MyFirstTBAppB.tBasic under Beta 1.9.0.0
Posted at dbarc.net/MyFirstTBAppB.exe
Uses "Console"
printl "Hello world B"
printl "(Under thinBasic 1.9.0.0)"
waitkey
Both times, I did the "bundling" in an otherwise empty directory.
The results are the same in all cases. The same screenshots apply.
My career was with IBM mainframes -- it's no more fun chasing this
kind of stuff now than it was back then. Regards, Dave

Michael,
I downloaded upx -- it looks like a good packer/unpacker.
Please be more specific about "I make [what] bat file" and "it will
make [what] file bigger". For this business, I wasn't doing any packing/
/unpacking (except maybe thinBundle was without my knowledge).
Showing my age, I am quite satisfied with Yoshi's LHA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHA_(file_format)
If it were more common, I would use it. I have no need for
"smaller and faster"
Regards, Dave
Thinbasic library's are packed using UPX and so is the thinBundle.
What you call the bat file is up to you it won't change what it does, it will make any file that is UPX packed unpack.
