I doubt it would be legal to email a copy of this commercial software to
Avast or whoever else...

It is totally legal! If it was not legal, I would never have mentione4d it.

Avast is not flagging every file, just one or two. Jest send the file(s) being flagged to
Avast.

How that ? It only bypasses the firmware region code in order for DVD
software to play any DVD from any region.

OK, my bad: Avast is God and I am Dr Evil's mini-me: the exe in question WAS
infected! I un/re-installed the progamme from a fresh download and now
it's clean.

Thanks for the update.
I had a similar experience a cuppla years ago.
Commercial software I'd been using for years was suddenly flagged by Avast!
I sent them a sample asking that they fix their false positive.
Turns out it wasn't a false positive, my commercial software had been
compromised.
