@sysrpl - I downloaded your windows version of the Lazarus install file and then scanned it with Avast!...no issues. So I installed it, but during the install and for a while afterwards, I keep getting Avast blocking threats like "Win32:Evo-gen" malware in various .exe files in various subfolders of the install...is this a false positive?

I want to trust you, but have to ask

cheers,
Paul
