I had the same problem with a extrem optimized lib two weeks ago.
Thats annoying but you have no chance but to report it to avast to clearify.

Thank you Marc for your report!

This class for detect malware through the scanner use some pattern used by virus then yes, there is a possibility that the class could be detected as a false positive from some antivirus.

I will report this directly to avast.
