Have you experienced problems installing masm32 with lousy AV products ?

[hutch--]

A perennial problem with the low end of AV software is the generation of false positives with their heuristic scanners. While the high quality end of the AV market rarely ever generates problems of this type, others appear to have never read the Microsoft Portable Executable specifications and attempt to reduce the specification to a subset of what they are able to comprehend.

The MASM32 project over its 10 year history has always been built in an isolated environment from its original source code and it has been installed successfully on millions of computers over that 10 year period without ever having contained a virus or trojan. The example code is supplied in assembler source code format so the content of the binaries that are built from that source code is exhaustively known.
