It's because you use Avast 4.x and as of an update they did to the virus definitions last night they messed something up and now Avast is seeing ALL executables written and compiled with AutoIt3 as a virus. This includes RainBrowser, RainThemes, EnigmaConfigure, HUD.Vision, and a ton of applications out there. I have reported the issue to Avast (as have no doubt many others) and hopefully it will be corrected in an update to the definitions very soon.

Update:

Looks like they fixed it. I just did an update to Avast and the problem seems resolved.
