Avast thinks Action 1.20.0 has a virus

This is something i didn't expect.. the download was nearly done and Avast came up saying it contains a virus... I re-downloaded it several times having Avast partially disabled, then i did a scan and it found nothing, weird.

Then i ran it as admin, and Avast brags again (same result)

I don't really know what this is about, is it a false alert?

Probably it's a false positive alert. action_launcher.exe is just a starting screen.

I have made the same scan and the file is clear.

You scanned a different file. I scanned action_launcher, you scanned action_logon
