Hi JSWolf, I have no intention of disabling or uninstalling Avira, all AV programs have false positives, lets hope that's what these are. I've been using it for many years and it is very good.
I remember several years ago when hackers inserted code into Ccleaner installation file and was downloaded by many people from the legitimate website. I will wait to see what Avira say

Hi ownedbycats , uploading the installation file to VT results in no detection by Avira, it is only after execution that 4 files are detected, thankfully these files are only detected by 2 well known AV vendors, which makes me think they are FP's , these are Avira and F-Secure,,
the latter uses Aviras signatures , so they are not independent detections
