Antivirus flagging calibre
I downloaded some freebies from Amazon and when I tried to edit the metadata I get a warning from AVG, my security software (screenshot attached). Any ideas about why this is happening? Thank you for any help, I'm afraid to proceed for fear of creating an even bigger problem!

Calibre is clean. When an antivirus program flags it, it's always a false positive. Just made sure you download it from the the official site to be sure it's clean.
