Firefox 27.01 Virus GONE?!

Downloaded a new copy of FirefoxPortable 27.01 from PortableApps and this time Avast did NOT find any malware.
Double checked with latest ClamwinPortable with a virus free result.

First time ever this has happened with software from PortableApps.
Why? No clue...

Be alert. Always.
Best regards.

False Positive

Avast's heuristic scanner evidently had a false positive.
