Hi all

The file RadASM.zip does not contain any virus.
One of the files (ASMVARS.EXE) is packed with PECOMPACT.
This might trigger a virus warning.

--------------------------------------------------
ASMVARS v1.00a, (c)2001 Jeremy Collake
http://www.collakesoftware.com
jeremy@collakesoftware.com
--------------------------------------------------

This program is designed to scan assembly language projects
for unreferenced local and global variables.

USAGE:

  ASMVARS file1 file2 file3 ... [@files.lst] [!datatypes.lst] [-v]

ASMVARS can be provided a list of files on the command line, or
can read a list of files from a list file (prefixed with '@'). All
files provided to ASMVARS are treated as a single project. Wildcards
are not accepted. The -v switchs puts ASMVARS into verbose mode.

ASMVARS automatically includes files indicated by 'include xxx'
statements in the source code. Furthermore, ASMVARS automatically
picks up on STRUCT and UNION datatypes that are defined in the source
and also handles subsequent EQU's on those datatypes. However, if
you wish to manually specify datatypes then you can supply ASMVARS
with a datatypes list file by prefixing that filename with '!'.

Four passes are performed:
        1 = Scan for INCLUDED files and datatypes.
        2 = Scan for datatype EQUs.
        3 = Scan for local variables declarations, local variable
            references, and for global variable declarations.
        4 = Scan for global variable references.

The return value is the number of unreferenced global and local variables
found.

Enjoy!

Also AddinMana.dll is reported by Trend Micro to contain virus.
This is false. The sources for the addin can be found on my website.

You can always try the RadASM.zip at:

http://virusscan.jotti.org/

It will scan the file with 14 different virus scanners.

Can anyone packet it into 7zip format, because my antivirus don't let me download it (I can't deactivate my antivirus)

Thank you

A solution would be to unpack the asmvars ...

But i guess AV solutions that automagically consider runtime packed files as malware do suck big time :D
Also not beeing able to disable the AV for a specific file that you know for sure to be ok... is oh well again stupid.
