That's what I did several times, but still detected as a threat. This program must try to play with the mouse, or whatever...

Sounds like you need a new antivirus software.
This is the contents of that file:
Code: Select all
@x64\FactorioTest.exe
@if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b 1
@pause
@if %errorlevel% neq 0 exit /b 1
Hardly virus worthy.. nothing but normal "run program when running this" bat script.

oh, no, of course, the suspect detected program is the exe : FactorioTest.exe
It is not detected as a virus is I simply scan it, but it is detected when I launch it because as an unknown program, avast lauches it in a protected environment (sand box) to watch for unsual actions.
