Ok not really :D but both Win10 and Avira blocks my VB.NET console application.

I literally created a new project and i tried various different names so it cant be the application name.

and this is litrally all I have in the Visual Studio IDE.

Code:
Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("test")
    End Sub

End Module

Avira pops up calling it a virus HEUR /APC (Cloud) https://www.avira.com/en/support-threats-summary-product?tid=26757&threat=HEUR%2FAPC&track=1

If I put it inot the ignore list then Windows 10 blocks it with a message saying it cant be run.
Its also blocked when running fom the command line even as admin.

WHY! Its irritating

Sounds like your ide/compiler is infected and it's trying to run more than just that writeline.

I highly doubt, but I suppose anything is possible. If I open up a different project which I created a month ago its working fine.

Found the problem!

I needed to go to project settings and populate the Assembly Information.

Title
Description
Company
Product
ect ect.

Weird kind of make sense though
