I downloaded several A.W. Tozer files yesterday and some of them are being flagged as possibly malicious by Avast antivirus. It pops up a window I'm unable to close without force-killing the PC. I then wait about two minutes and restart. The last one I tried is entitled "Tozer, A.W. - Jesus Is Victor - An Exposition on Revelation.top.exe" Could that possibly contain a virus or malware?

I am strongly tempted to temporarily disable or delete Avast and go ahead with installing the Tozer files. Would this be a safe thing to do, or could they really be dangerous to install? I've never downloaded anything from BibleSupport yet that caused any problems and don't want to start now. :) TIA for any help!

No, there's nothign to worry about. Avast doesn't recognize the exe files and flags them. Disable and try again.

Thanks, Josh. You confirmed exactly what I suspected.
