[PD] about windows and avast...

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

yes, it is good to know.  I don't really know what to do about it.  I'll 
bet most Windows users have virus/trojan scanning on their computers and 
I've tested Pd-extended on machines with Norton installed and I've never 
heard of this.

I think its safe to say that this is a case of mistaken identity.  Perhaps 
they are being a bit too strict with there checks.  From the files listed, 
they were mostly ogg-related DLLs which aren't Pd code, but included 
libraries (anything lib*.dll).
