Classic problem since D is used in malware and AV software tend 
to think all D software is thus malware.

When you suspect an antivirus misclassified a D program just 
because it's written in D, it helps to send them the 
misclassified binary for them to analyze. (often checking with 
VirusTotal give you the offenders). If noone do this then D 
programs end up deleted by browsers and OS right on download, 
I've found, also prevent people new to D from installing the 
compiler.
