Yeah Avast is fairly hit happy for D programs, I've tried to get in
touch with them but they don't make it too easy.
I have posited on IRC that maybe either somebody is doing something very
bad with D (things like _Dmain as a symbol name are pretty obvious to
look for!) or they have trained their neural network wrong.
It would be nice to get in touch with their engineers to find out what
is really going on.
