Hi,
By default, Avast will move any unknown file to the locker. This includes
new software like the utility. In the Avast settings, one of the first
entries is Enable CyberCapture. Set this to "allow me to decide".
Once you have done this, it will not automatically be sent to the locker,
but rather scanned while you wait and then all will be well.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New KPA1500 Remote Program
Have no fear, it’s a “false positive”. Two of the hits are defined as
“FileRepMalware” which after some research basically means the KPA1500
Utility
has not been seen widely by the virus detection engine., which is not
unsurprising as 1.14 was brand new, and isn’t widely distributed.
Its likely to happen on many of our utilities, since the wider non-ham
public is
not using them.

Hello,
Anyone else getting a virus hit when trying to install the KPA1500
Remote program (ver 1.14)? I get a “filerepmalware” indication, and Avast
moves the exe file into the Avast file locker. I am running Win 10.
