Hey, just to let you know.

Awesome Miner has now started coming up as Malware on Avast Anti-Virus.

someone may have an issue with AM and added it to the naughty list.

And i don't mean the mining apps it runs, but AM itself.

you might need to contact them and find out why and have it removed. for now, i have just added it to the exclusion list.

*[edit] posted before scrolling back. i now see you have this under control.*

for Avast they do because of phones/tablets being infected with malicious xmr miners the hog up their resources... so they will block everything mining related
Although I already reported this to Avast, I still always recommend users of Awesome Miner that run into these anti-virus software warnings to report it as a false positive to the anti-virus software vendor to make them more aware of the issue:
