Dear Jimmy,

It seems as a false positive. Here it builds fine with no antivirus warning.

Anyhow please double check that you have no viruses on your PC that may infect your generated EXE

Jimmy is right. Kaspersky anti-virus is installed on all the machines of my organization. Everything is fine. However, if it is not enabled for some reason (for example, an old certificate), Windows Defender starts working. Sometimes it reports infection of FWH programs with a virus and deletes them.

Dear Yuri,

When you use Harbour and FWH, you build the EXE yourself on your PC, so if your computer has a virus your EXE will get infected
