A week ago someone reported the same problem to me:

Here's what I said then...

Thanks for reporting this.
First, bin.exe is not ours, only ex.exe.
No one has ever reported that a virus scanner has
complained about ex.exe or anything else in our package.
I searched DejaNews on the Web and apparently
the "bloodhound" report is issued when the Norton antivirus
software is suspicious of a file, but not when it matches it
to an actual known virus. One person on DejaNews said
that after running scandisk and correcting inconsistencies
on his disk, this "bloodhound" message went away
(he was not a Euphoria user.)
If you are are worried about ex.exe, I would recommend
that you download EUPHOR20.ZIP directly from our Web site
and get the "official" version of ex.exe for v2.0.

I'm not sure what Norton is complaining about.
Perhaps the fact that ex.exe is a compressed
executable makes it look funny to Norton.
