   I suspect it is deleting Net2BBS and not NetFoss, at least that's   
   what a few other anti virus programs were doing that use   
   "Heuristic analysis", such as Avast and F-Prot. I submitted a   
   false-positive report to Avast the day I released version 1.14   
   and they promply responded and informed me they had updated their   
   database to prevent it from being flagged in the future. However   
   F-Prot's web site has a broken AV False Positive submission form,   
   and no matter which browser I tried, the submission failed.   
      
   I was unaware that Windows Defender uses Heuristic Analysis as   
   well. This basicly means that it will generate false positives   
   when programs appear suspisious such as a telnet server that allows   
   incoming tcp connections. Many also consider very small files such   
   as software written in assembler to be suspicious, just because   
   it's the prefered language of hackers and virus writers wanting   
   a small payload.   
      
   If you have doubts about such a file the best thing to do is   
   upload it to a multi-AV online scanning site such as Virus   
   Total, and see if the higher quality AV programs such as   
   Kaspersky, AVG, Symantec, and even Clam AV will mark it as   
   a threat.
