Loic isnt malware its just a hack tool that doesnt consist of malicious code.
Your side of the coin according to this info
: http://xenonymous.blogspot.nl/2013/05/loic-information.html
RESULT: HackTool.MSIL.Loic.de (Not a Virus) - probably risktool means PUP.
And therefore avast! detects this as such: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1b26fcf0da549a47dceefb4e99fd520d63dec3a7cd539d3edcf1d7c1d4a95fd5/analysis/
avast!'s side of the coin -PUP detection.
PUP is a potentially unwanted program.
This means that it is unwanted or risk ware if one has not installed it willfully and intentionally.
So a PUP is no virus - so a PUP is no malcode, -so it cannot be a false positive in that respect.

Hi Zono
Additionally you can make an exclusion and allow the risktool.
Whever you are a security researcher and know how to work this tool in an academic lab setting,
it is very useful in penetration tests and adjusting firewall rules. It is small and fast. Very handy.
All that when you know what you are doing and fully aware of the effects of the tool.
