Hi there. I tried already to find an answer to my problem by reading comments to virus related articles, unfortunately unsuccessful. I started by finding and downloading Manager but ended up to now with several tries to install but Avast detected a virus and does not allow to go any further. I tried to install from the msi and zip file with same result. Can anyone help with this? ---

If you search the forum for “Avast” you will find many topics on this. Avast is known to generate a false positive for Manager. Disable Avast and notify them of the false positive. ---

Thanks. I did not search specifically for Avast, just for virus and noted many virus scanners act similar. Notification was an automated process but they did not reply yet. ---
