Hi @erzzo, can you provide more information?

• Which version of Avast's virus definitions?
• What does Avast report?
  • Is there a specific name, number, or code?

[erzzo]

Sure.
Avast version: 17.4.2294 (build 17.3.3443.0)
Avast virus definision: 170514-2

By downloading the exe file it throws: Win32:Evo-gen [Susp]

I just installed Avast to try and reproduce this. Interestingly, Avast is identifying the PowerBuddy executable as a potential risk. This is clearly wrong. One of the power state APIs I'm using must be triggering a false positive.

I've submitted it to the Avast Lab as a false positive.
@erzzo if you could do the same that would help.

Here's how:
