False Positive: File Download Manager

Viruses and worms
1

G’day Avast

I was about to download the latest File Download Manager onto my W11, and the Avast has detected a virus or blacklist directly from the original website File Download Manager.

I strongly believe this is a false positive, and I’m asking Avast to fully investigate this issue ASAP. See attachment below.

Thank you.

I see a PUP warning for one of the downloads here:

Reason for detection:
Reason HeuristicsPUP.Softdeluxe.FreeDown.Installer.Meta (M)16.6.10.13

But wait for a final verdict from avast team,
