Windows Virus "Gen:Variant.Zbot.17" in win VM ?

When i compile my GM2 project for windows as VM then my antivirus software kills the zip file and warns me it is a bad "Gen:Variant.Zbot.17" infektion.

i use the antivir software "Bullguard".... very strange and annoying as i have to turn my whole anti vir off when trying to use my compiled program.

the program also wants to use internet when i start it...though i dont use any internet communication in my code.
