I'm glad it helped. :-)
As for Avast: I'm sure they did not target Wordfast Classic intentionally. I believe anti-virus algorithms are very complex and false alarms simply happen. Of course, this one was quite bad for us, Classic Wordfasters.
I remember years ago another AV software treated Wordfast Classic as infected, so the story is not entirely new. Back then, it took weeks for the developers to update their virus definitions to make sure Classic was not seen as infected. I hope the Avast team will be able to update their virus definitions fast.
