I don't use Avira but usually security programs provide a way to whitelist a specific program .

i searched for that option but could not find any.

I have Avira but no problems with it & B4A (win7).

However, I think Avira often shows fake warnings to convince you to buy a paid version

Open Avira Antivirus; click on item menu Quarantine, select the file and restore it (third button)

It is not specific to v6.30. The generated class files are exactly the same as in previous versions.

The weired thing is that it happens only in debug mode.

Is there something i can do?

These classes are only created in debug mode.

You need to find a way to exclude the folder from the anti virus (or switch to a different anti virus).

Ok thanx erel. Any suggestion to a different anti virus?

I'm only using Microsoft Security Essentials.

AVG Internet Security is good. You can get its free version: AVG Antivirus.

You could also try this.

This!

I never use any kind of antivirus, except for removal.
In the last 22 years, I have had only 2 viruses, one in 2008, one in 2012, both due to my own stupidity.

2008: I used Internet Explorer for a torrent search. <-- A STUPID THING TO DO!
2012: I downloaded a shady bitcoin-mining screen saver. <-- A STUPID THING TO DO!

So in my conclusion, there's nothing like common-sense, that's the best antivirus!!!

And for dangerous stuff, I just use Sandboxie or a Virtual Machine.

I'm not so sure that we don't need antiviruses... there's a digital war right now.

Also, I would to know how spy apps work and how people can install them (maybe I will open a thread about this )
