false postitive, how to recover the file

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

I have compiled an installer for a software that I made using c++, and compiling using cmake/cpack/visual studio.

I can’t run the installer.exe, it says “threat name”: Win32:Evo-gen . I am pretty sure this is a false positive (recently format the computer and reinstall everything, not downloading anything suspicious on it etc … and this is the installer that I made myself.

I see it appear in virus chest in avast. I can delete it forever but I don’t find how to restore it …
there is a little arrow next to delete that I supposed was to select other option, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

Regards

ok thanks, I can now “restore” it. which is nice.
but nice time I run it it does the same, moving to the virus chest …
It’s a little boring to restore it each time I use it …
is there a way to “restore it definitely” ?
