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.
