BI update to 3.54.01 detected as a virus

[paarlberg]

I run Avast and it detected a virus on the update files. BI wouldn't run after that, I downloaded the full package and it installed without an issue. It must have been a false positive.

This is the log info from Avast.

It's a false positive. I have had a few different versions of Avast over the past few years flag blueiris.exe as Malware. I pretty sure it was Win32:Evo-Gen. I just added blueiris.exe to Avast's exclude list and the restored blueiris.exe from Avast's Virus vault. This resolved my problems.

I figured it was bogus.. Just rebuilt my system a month or so ago and forgot to exclude BI from the scanner.
