Bug reference:      14887
Logged by:          Vincent Tap

Operating system:   Windows 7 32 bits
Description:

Hi,

Using EDB Installer, I get an error message from Avast at the end of setup
:
initdb.exe infected by FileRepMalware.
Should I suspend my AV because of a false positive or is the file really
corrupted ?
I had a look at BigSQL installer but it's only for 64 bits OS.

Thanks in advance for your help.

VT

apparently that FileRepMalware simply means Avast hasn't assigned that 
file a high reputation.    seems like anything they've not whitelisted 
can get tagged with that.
