0001445: Downloading Windows installer results in false positive virus alert with avast Antivirus
Trying to download a Windows installer for 1.1 or 1.1.1 results in a false positive virus alert from avast Antivirus on Windows with "Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]"
The installers in question appear clean & have no issues or infection. Manually scanning with avast finds the files clean. Temporarily disabling avast Antivirus will allow the binaries to be downloaded & executed properly. The issue can happen in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera browsers.

I do not know if this is an issue we can fix on our end, but I want to just note it so the staff is aware
Have Windows OS, have avast Antivirusz

Do one of the following:
* Be at zandronum.com or zandronum.com/tracker and click "Get the latest version: 1.1.1 for Windows"
* Be at zandronum.com/download/ or zandronum.com/downloads/ and download a win32 binary installer for 1.1 or 1.1.1
I have Windows 7 64bit and avast Antivirus
The installer for 1.0 does not seem to trigger a false positive
Manually scanning 1.1 or 1.1.1's installers with avast results with "no threat found", virustotal confirms avast finds no problems with it'https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/c0d1e191e51f94cdaa6541fb8e8070db914259da5590688a630315f70f4d3bca/analysis/ [^]'

Happened to me as well... File was blocked before it even found itself on download list, which is a bit weird. (win xp, firefox)

Newbie which came here first time and downloads a file won't DELETE ANTIVIRUS LOL but rather leave to some odamex or other zdaemon.
