I'm currently running dmd v2.098.0 and 2.096.0 on MacOS Big Sur 
(11.6.2) and am running into an issue with AVG antivirus.

Apparently, anything processing strings from the standard library 
matches the virus signature shown on the subject line. It 
quarantines all object files produced from any of the following:

      import std.stdio: writef;
      writef("%s", "This is a test!\n");

      import std.file: read;
      auto data = read("somefile.txt");

      import std.conv: to;
      auto d = to!double("1.6");
      //or
      auto s = to!string(1.6);

     import std.utf;
     auto ndx = toUCSindex(`hello world`, 7);

I just ran into this yesterday.

Consult with AVG.

Nothing any of us can really do or help you with.

It's not an issue with D, but with your AV.

The situation has turned to bad this year because of ransomware 
written in D.

Even a hello world built with D may trigger many AV software.
If you sell software to consumers it's catastrophic because the 
users blame you the vendor.

Please do your part and submit D programs that trigger AV to 
antivirus vendors.
D cannot succeed if people cannot physically run the programs.
