Whenever I've tried to install 11.0.6 my AVG antivirus says it contains an IDP.ARES.Generic virus.  I don't know what that is or what's triggering it.  I trust e-Sword but there's always a chance something got infected.  Any help?

It's a false positive. If you google  "IDP.ARES.Generic" & avg, there's reports of new versions of programs being reported as a virus.

 

This happens sometimes when developers don't digitally sign the install file properly (as with e-Sword).

 

Source: numerous discussions like this.
