Can someone tell me if this is actually a virus and even if its not, what is it? (the screenshot is in french but yeah it basically says it was blocked because it detected a virus)

    The avast is a piece of shit and wrongly detecting it. As you can see from the VirusTotal link, it is not detected by Avast there.

    Welcome to the world of antivirus, where lots of things are snakeoil.

    Yeah it detected a virus on the 1.16.5 version but not 1.16.4 version so its all fixed but thats still really weird
