Avast detecting idp.generic of jabref.exe

Help
1

Hello there,

title says it all. Avast is detecting my jabref.exe as idp.generic infected.
Only after I load up a .bib file 6 months old (fresh install seems clean). I never had any problems until the new 5.0 update.
Does anybody have the same issue? Can .bibs be infected by the citation-files loading into it?

I am a bit confused and arguably scared of course.

Thanks in advance!

Nobody with the same issue or any hints/clues? Could this simply be a false-positive?
Does really nobody have an idea?

Hi,
you can be sure this is a false positive if you downloaded JabRef from official sources: https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html

You can also compile JabRef from source if you have any doubts.
