Hello,

my first post here, didn't see any stickies on how to write a proper false positive report, please forgive me if this is a wrong forum for this kind of thing.

I am using a certain piece of soft called Squint (here's the homepage: https://sites.google.com/site/macsarmatools/squint), and in the last couple of weeks it hasn't been working. I don't know all the details of how it works, but it seems that Avast is blocking it. scanning the .exe manually returns no threat reports.

I am not the only one who's having this problem, you can read a couple of reports here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?105860-Squint-the-sqf-editor-and-error-checker&p=2301299&viewfull=1#post2301299

The author suggested we submitted the .exe to you, guys. What would I need to do to make it happen? So you could confirm it's infected or take it off Avast's list?

watching this for results, any virus threat within our games community can't be taken light ...
