Hi all,

I am designing a system for a professor I am working for. One of the
components involves a Windows application that I've created and packaged
into a nice little installer (via NSIS).

1. I created a website (with my own domain) that is being used to host the
download for the installer file (via direct HTTP download). The problem is,
Google Chrome and Avast antivirus warns of it potentially being "malware"
because it's "not a commonly downloaded file". This will be quite a bit of
nuisance since the file is to be distributed internally to his team.

2. The program checks for updates and self updates. Avast also creates an
annoying warning that this could be malware. Any way to get around this?

Is there a way to get Chrome and Avast to treat the file normally without
making users change their settings? Perhaps using a php redirect for the
download? If I host the file on a file sharing site, the warning isn't
shown.
