AutoIt3Wrapper.au3 gets deleted?

[MrCheese]

Hi All,

I have Autoit/SciTe installed under: C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\

The last two nights, I've gone to execute a script via SciTE and I encounter this error:

---

Autoit error

Line 0 (File "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt23\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.au3"):

Error: Error opening the file.

---

I then check here: C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt23\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\

and the file in question is missing.

I then copy in a version from a portable vr of SciTe I have. This worked initially, but then after some time (hours), it also disappeared.

edit: I can confirm that after I copy it into the dir, run a script, it is removed in the process.

Has anyone seen this?

It was Avast doing false positives 😲

Experiencing this also. Frustrating that adding an exception doesn't work to stop it being moved to the virus chest.

Funny they start flagging readable sourcecode files. They are really getting lazy, aren't they.    
It is actually an Heuristic issue which is strange for the Run function as that doesn't do that much really.

Adding an exception for the whole AutoIt3 folder instead of just the file seems to be working for now.

Adding an exception for the whole AutoIt3 folder did not work for me; however, adding

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe

as exception did the job!
