Please note that Avast has a history of incorrectly marking our installers as adware-infected. At the moment there is no false-positive, and Avast are reporting the files as clean, but problems may recur in future.
These are the two most recent responses we have had from Avast, in relation to separate reports by us of the false-positives:

You can check the installer files yourself by uploading them to a site such as www.virustotal.com. Only Avast and the little-used Dr.Web currently report a problem. The other 52 anti-virus providers on VirusTotal report the files as clean.
If you currently use Avast we recommend that you switch to a better anti-virus product.
