Everything is ok now.
Avast has detected this update as infected by Win32:Malware-gen. Is it a false positive?it's been 4 days since I sent the file to analyze and Avast keeps blocking it, so I wonder if it's a true positive alert.
Edit: Thanks a lot for your quick answer and everything else. I've installed Calibre. Avast finds viruses in the installer file and no viruses in the installed folder.
Already Did, Check Yourself
As always, before it was posted, calibre Portable 5.33.2 was scanned in 70 antivirus engines using VirusTotal. You can check the scan yourself by clicking to the calibre Portable homepage, clicking the Antivirus Scan link just below the download button, and clicking the VirusTotal link. You'll see this: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2a95fe398acca21da69a881078959b3f53e1...
Win32:Malware-gen means Avast didn't actually detect malware. It's a generic detection of something it thinks could be an issue and it's up to the user to decide. So, Avast is wrong again here. You'll need to allow it yourself because they likely won't fix their error. You'll see this issue often with free antivirus products like Avast and AVG.
UPDATE: Avast has an issue with NSIS 3.08, which the PA.c Installer uses as a base despite the fact that it is clean and has been out for almost 3 months.
