Rich,

Are you running WT 4.1?  I've never seen Symantec flag 4.2, it only
seems to flag 4.1.

Symantec also trips on this file....Ive set the directory to be ignored
in scanning and real-time.  A fix would be nice....but workarounds are
available.

I've just purchased WT 4.2.0. Unfortunately AVG free says it is infected
with Win32/Themida.

I'm presuming that it probably isn't infected and AVG is just flagging
it as a false positive. Has anyone else seen this and is there a work
around?

 

Yes, this has been reported on this reflector many times within the past
few weeks, and it is a false alarm.

One work-around is to run wt_dev.exe from
http://download.win-test.com/v4/nightly instead of wt.exe (which will be
very hard to replace now if AVG has quarantined it).

Others have simply chosen to uninstall AVG completely.
