Avast has been blocking the new version of the xwidget installer as potential malware, it has been reported as a false positive but Avast has finally recognised this as being safe and now allows the installation without a hitch. Please report any false positives that your own preferred a/v tool flags by mistake. Let's make Xwidget's new (albeit small) release a success! |

As that is the a/v tool you use, take ownership and report the various Xwidget .exes as FPs. I did exactly that for Avast and the binaries are no longer flagged as FPs. All who encounter FPs in their own flavour of anti-virus tool should do the same as soon as possible. |
