ISSUES WITH FIREWALL?

While developing BazzBasic, I have noticed that Avast Security at least scans it almost every time I compile the source code into a binary.

Don't worry though. The BazzBasic source code is open to everyone — you can check for yourself that it doesn't do anything illegal on your machine. In time, Avast will learn that BazzBasic is not malware, but it takes a while.

BazzBasic is released under the MIT license, which allows it to be used and modified freely. Read the license.
