Avast flagging toolbox updates
Almost every time one of the apps managed by the Toolbox auto-updates, I get a notification from Avast that it needs to scan the file for malware. It blocks the update for 15-30 seconds each time while it scans the java.exe binary. I saw this post, but that didn't seem to be the same issue I am seeing. Is this a known false positive that you are working to fix?
Note: I selected WebStorm since the Toolbox wasn't one of the options, but Avast has flagged almost every one of the apps I have installed (WebStorm, IntelliJ, PhpStorm, DataGrip etc).

What errors/violations does it report namely?
That's just it. It doesn't find any. It just flags it as a suspicious file that could "harm your computer", pauses the install for half a minute, then keeps going. It isn't something that causes any downtime (so far); it's just a minor annoyance that I wanted to bring up in case it's fixable.
