I need someone from Avast to contact me regarding a false positive in one of my programs. I wrote the thing, I know it’s not a virus. I’m but a small time developer, I can’t afford a code signing certificate. Other antivirus products don’t detect it as a virus, why is Avast detecting it as such?
It is the other way around, you need to contact avast:
