I've seen "it" before, just a false positive.

Oh, nevermind.
I guess I should have done a forum search first.
I didn't know that there was a common problem of false positives with Avast.

I moved it to the chest.
I hope that doesn't mess up this work unit.

So, I should just tell it to ignore it next time?

I can be assured that there will never be any real viruses?

Put your FAH folder in your AV software trusted zone.

It is messed up and you are likely lost that WU already. Do not worry, you'll get another one.

FAH WU files are data files and will not be executed. If indeed some code does attach to any of these files then it will not get a chance to run.
Also, at some level the WU data corruption caused by "virus attachment" will dump the WU itself.

Thanks for the answers, everyone.
Will try to fix my Avast.
