Downloads of our software installer from our website is blocked by Avast! protection.
Our software installer is build with NSIS version 3.0b3-1 under MSYS2+MINGW64 shell.
According to www.virustotal.com, Avast! suspect the presence of Win64:Evo-gen (database update: 20160329) in the installer. No problem is detected when checking our software (without the installer).
How to fix this? Filling a false positive form is not possible as our binary is > 10Mo…
Compile the installer separately in all the compression types NSIS is using and check which one is giving the problem.
I suspect that ZLIB gives the problem.
Unfortunately Avast FTP server seems to be broken…
