What do trojans do? From the wiki article on them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_(computing)
Code:
Operations that could be performed by a hacker on a target computer system include:
Use of the machine as part of a botnet (e.g. to perform automated spamming 
or to distribute Denial-of-service attacks)
Data theft (e.g. retrieving passwords or credit card information)
Installation of software, including third-party malware
Downloading or uploading of files on the users computer
Modification or deletion of files
Keystroke logging
Watching the users screen
Crashing the computer
Anonymizing internet viewing
notice the entry for modification and deletion of files? Well, when I updated the bot to remember where you dragged it and what abilities/quests you had used the last operation, I had to add/modify a configuration file.

So now you can look at your error information, First word being Heuristics and last word being generic.

A heuristic scan just looks at the programs (from wiki also):
Heuristic analysis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Code:
Most antivirus programs that utilize heuristic analysis perform this function by
executing the programming commands of a questionable program or script 
within a specialized virtual machine, thereby allowing the anti-virus program to 
internally simulate what would happen if the suspicious file were to be 
executed while keeping the suspicious code isolated from the real-world 
machine. It then analyzes the commands as they are performed, monitoring
for common viral activities such as replication, file overwrites, and attempts 
to hide the existence of the suspicious file. If one or more virus-like actions 
are detected, the suspicious file is flagged as a potential virus, and the user 
alerted.
and lastly, notice the word generic. It means that the antivirus doesnt know which of the thousands of trojans have actually been discovered my bot is most like, it is just a generic one.

Your guess is a good as mine as to why it is a virus.

So, you have two options either send me $374.89 USD before midnight tonight and we keep your discovery between ourselves, or you can risk everything you have worked on! J/K, but seriously donate.

I apologize i was not trying to imply your program itself is a virus. i assumed my copy was recently infected and so deleted the file. Iv been using the program for a long time now so i also thought it was odd that it suddenly considered it a Trojan. My problem was i did not know how to get my hands on the file again after deleting it since it wouldn't let me download it again. Then i had an issue after i got the file again, where it kept deleting it but i finally found a way to add the file to the exclusion list on kaspersky. And i apologize again if my initial post gave the wrong impression

I was just trying to be funny and at the same time give you a guess as to why it would show up now and not before, because I really dont have any clue. Citations were to add credibility to my guess.

i craft b myself and i see only logs
11/26/2011 23:14 Cooleko#305
You might be harvesting if you only see logs. Let me know more and i can help you figure out what you are doing wrong.
11/26/2011 23:22 Kugata#306
Ok i start button Syntes and my char sit on a leg
Next i open bot
craft number 9999
craft spot 0 (idk what is that)
number of quest 0
Toogle Number and No carefull all uncheck
Only Hasty Hands box is check
Ability select first one i dont know i cant see word there

Please delete that picture, it has someone's name at the top of it. Did you read the instructions in the original post on the first page?

To show me what I want, press the debug view, copy and paste what is there into a spoiler and code tag, and let me see it.

Problem resolved um i dunno how but maybe bcuz i restart my pc and game but now its working fine :D

As there any way make it lil faster?

unless you checked the slow button it should be operating as fast as your computer will let it.

The gui has an indicator for when it can receive input, the bot waits to see the indicator and then gives it a random wait (small one) and moves forward.

Buy yourself some time by rolling your clock back to November, I'm not ready to publish an update so may just re-upload the previous version.

* Old version with increased run time.

A google search for autoit.asay gives me nothing to go on, so I dont know what it could be detecting. AVG doesnt even have it listed as a detectable threat from an update yet. So it may just be a new signature they are scanning. Many autoit programs are flagged as virus/worm/trojans because of how the compiler puts the program together.

Worms are self propagating programs, and my program doesnt make any attempts to even connect to the internet or network, so to be flagged as such is very disconcerting. The trojan a page back makes sense since the program does create and modify files. Despite this, I'm confident it is just a false positive as most people complain about false alerts from autoit programs.

In the mean time i spoke with AVG customer service, they were unable to provide any information (rep said there just isnt any to provide), I further submitted the file for individual review and will let you know if there is cause for concern. They estimated 2 days to find out the results of their analysis.

ok thanks now i know u say ur confident about it being a false positive so is there a way i can get it to stop being scanned as a threat/infection the first file has alrdeady been deleted and i re-downloaded and scanned with malware which says clean, and avg which still shows infection.

Depending on your antivirus you either need to whitelist the program or disable active scanning of programs at download/runtime.
