When I tried to download HFSPortable Avast detected win32:malware-gen.
Avast, like many other antivirus utilities, purposely labels this as generic malware due to the fact that it has a HTTP/FTP server within it. Note that this is not a malware detection by any means, just a warning that this piece of software has this ability. Avast is geared towards average end users and average end users don't use servers.

Note that this is also a reason an app like this will not be made official. The same reason we removed DShutdown from our directory despite it being a clean app.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thank you for the explanation.
