Newsleecher executable deteced as a virus???

Hello all,

Today my Avast in screen saver mode has suddenly begun detecting newsleecher.exe as a virus (trojan.gen).

This is an app I have used for a long while. It is the latest beta version, although it’s been installed for several days without incident until today. False positive perhaps???

My Avast version is 4.8 pro with the latest definitions.

Thanks.
