False virus threat

Hello I recently found out that when I run my Code Blocks code my AVG detects it as a Trojan horse Generic38.ABPH I know this is some error from you guy's so please fix this. Few weeks ago with same Code Blocks everything worked well But now it's not working anymore.The only way I can run my Code Blocks is to disable the AVG...Please fix this thanks

Hello,
i have the paid version of AVG Internet security.
Installing code blocks C++ was not a problem, also compiling give no problem.
But when i am trying to run my project, AVG virusscan gives following Trojan horse: Generic38.ABPH.
After searching the internet it becomes clear that this is a false Trojan detection.
To solve this, i did the following:
- first: excluding in AVG inside Program Files (X86) the CodeBlocks directory and...
- second: excluding my projects-directory which was on another disk.
After this all works fine!
