Those (many) of us not from computer science backgrounds might not know 
the proof of Turing's "Fundamental Theorem of Computation" (it is 
IMPOSSIBLE for there to exist a program that can tell by examining them 
if a program will loop if executed). However the proof isn't specific to 
the behavior "enter an endless loop". You could substitute some other 
behavior --- say "act like a virus" --- and the proof still works. << 
you can construct a program that the supposedly perfect virus checker 
will get wrong >>

In other words, there can be no perfect virus checker. A virus checker 
will either fail to identify some virus OR incorrectly label some 
perfectly innocent program as a virus.

Did you get what "avast" labeled a virus/trojan from a trusted source? 
If so, override that decision. Avast (or any other virus checker) MUST 
sometimes get it wrong.
