Also, your advice to rely on the free windows antivirus is risky. There are much better options (and free such as avast and avg.)
Happening again, with the new version of Calibre (2.80 and the 64-bit version.)

I'm quite comfortable adding this to the Avast exclusions (Malwarebytes makes no similar detection) so am posting this so Kovid can consider why 2 updates in a row generate this false positive. It may be possible to correct....
