[GNC] Help!

[Ken Pyzik]

I have Malwarebytes and my GnuCash installed with no issues.  Other 
virus-protection software are being overly aggressive and flagging the 
open sources programs as viruses.  As long as you know that you are 
downloading from a  known sources (SourceForge) you should be OK to just 
disable Avast Premium and turn it back on after you install.

Secondly, make sure to report the false positive to Avast.
