Trojan Horse virus Atros4.BPLN

I also experienced this weird phenomenon. I found out this happens only when Console.WriteLine() is followed by Console.Read, Console.ReadLine() or Console.ReadKey(). When other commands are added it doesn't happen.
The specific code is as follows:

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

I assume the compiler produces a very specific series of instructions which are interpreted by AVG as a false positive.

I have just installed VS Community 2015 and tried the system with the "Hello World" console program with C#. At the completion, I got a message from AVG Antivirus that Hello World.exe contains the Trojan Horse virus Atros4.BPLN and I was given the option to clean. Can anyone provide comments on what is happening? Thank you in advance.
