Thanks.  Buoyed up by Norman's reassurance I've just tried downloading

jqt-win-x86.zip

Avast proudly came up with its red window,  though I haven't managed to 
screen-capture it.

I've submitted a false-positive report to Avast support, mentioning Eric, Chris and Norman as developers and sources of information in case they need to follow up. I hope they don't bother you too much.

I ran the most recent jqt-win-x86.zip file through virscan.org and it came up 
clean. Same for the 64-bit zip.

You'll have to wait to hear from Norman or Chris on this.  I do
not have any anti-virus software installed.

There doesn't seem to be much interesting material about evo-gen
apart from others grumbling about false positives re this virus on
other common software.

Thanks for a quick reply!

I have had Avast false positives so there isn't necessarily a problem.
But better safe than sorry.

Google on evo-gen and whatever else it had to say might be interesting.

My talk-like-a-pirate AVAST virus-checker has just put jqt.exe into its
"dead-man's chest", considering it a threat.

Avast suspects it of carrying this infection: Win32: Evo-gen

After Avast had secured jqt.exe in its chest,  I reran jconsole with
install'qtide' to reinstate a "clean" copy.
Avast then objected to the download file,
http://jsoftware.com/download/jqt/jqt.exe;  so it's not my machine.

Now,  I don't THINK it's corrupted.  Please reassure me it isn't.

FWIW,
   JVERSION   NB. running in Jconsole
Engine: j701/2011-02-23/15:25
Library: 8.01.012
Platform: Win 32
Installer: j801 beta install
InstallPath: c:/d/j801-32

Thanks
