Some antivirus software has a propensity to "false positive" detection. — Mats Petersson, Aug 13 '13 at 09:10
It could also be that your computer is infected with something and is infecting the executables you create. In any case I don't think this is really a question for SO. — PlasmaHH, Aug 13 '13 at 09:17

I faced the same problem. Since I know there is no virus in the programs, I excluded my dev c++ folder and program file folders from antivirus software.

Steps in comodo antivirus is:

1.Open CIS

2.click Tasks in upper right corner

3.click Advanced tasks

4.select open advanced settings

5.Expand security settings

6.Expand antivirus

7.click Exclusions

8.Click on the arrow or right click anywhere on the screen.

9.select Add->folders

10.Add the dev c++ folders and program files folder in the list.

11.You have excluded the files

Now run your program, will surely get the output without any virus.
