killcom.exe is an Aurora file. It is used to reset all com ports when in d2xx mode. It is typically called when changing serial network settings.

I'm getting a report about this in the beta group as well. Although I'm inclined to believe it is a false positive caught by an update to your virus definitions, I'm going to check it out further to be sure. What antivirus are you using?

Avast...sent in a request to advise of a false positive. I also gave them your web site if they want to contact you.

I'm getting it from AVG. Even though I click ignore threat, it keeps coming up. Weird...

I'm not getting it on avast here. I'll put together a checksum for the file tomorrow to make sure neither of yours have become infected.

On my system, AVG seems to think that it's a trojan horse.

Avast started yanking killcom.exe off my development systems today too, so I guess I just today got the definitions update that thinks it is bad.  It gave no warning/notice or anything... one minute the file is there, then the next it is gone without any evidence as to what happened.  No log was generated in the Avast GUI either.  I had to go looking for it in the chest to find where it went.

If you have one then you can use your favorite MD5 checksum generator to check yours, or you can download one (this one is easy to use: http://www.colonywest.us/digestit/ )

There are two versions of the file for Aurora, both created in 2009.  The one with the July date should have a checksum of e7483276d245eb5fbd2d5dd0983258eb.  The one with a December date has a checksum of 246b990f9acff3958f6a551889ae2339. 

I just rebuilt from source and Avast immediately yanked the file created from source as soon as the compiler was done writing it to disk.  False positive?

My anti virus won't even let me open the file. I use digestit and it tells me it can't open the file.
