Tell them the truth - "virus scanner writers are complete idiots". As they did not even bother to contact RDS for any sort of the checks, investigation or whatever. We may publish the driver source code (after NDA signed) so you'll build it yourself with the free WDK and keep track of what's inside. There's nothing "military" in it.

Did you contact them in the meantime?

I'm asking because after today's update from Avira it's not reported as a virus any more.

How could I contact them if you did not tell me the name of this company? Unfortunately I don't have ability to read human mind... Yet :)

Looks like these guys did their job and issue is gone. Nice to know about this!

It was just an assumption, that you might have contacted all well-known
anti-virus companies.
After all, it can't be in your interest either that your product gets a bad
reputation. So, I guess it was just a coincident.

Keeping in mind two of the biggest AV vendors are StarBurn licensers - yes, we're in contact with them :) However everything goes in the opposite way - people repprt problems, AV vendors check the software and contact original manufacturer. If every software vendor would bug AV people - talking with them would be the only thing they would do...
