My antivirus flagged Avoid. Is it a virus?
No, Avoid is not a virus. Because prank software interacts with Windows interface elements like the Start button, some antivirus programs may flag it as potentially unwanted. This is a false positive. Avoid does not contain malware, spyware, or any malicious code. You can verify the download using the SHA-256 hash provided on the download page.
