When I installed Gramps 5.1.5 on my W10 VM today, Avast stepped in, and killed the setup because of a ‘dangerous’ libgio DLL. Has anyone else seen this?

I was too lazy to report this to Avast, and removed it instead, and then reinstalled Gramps.

Found the [same problem reported](https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/gramps-bugs/thread/CAE2aDXWAo%2BZ0Z3aZv9HtjpH6VfHq4sPFiHrzf%2Bz-hK2Mq7SYiA%40mail.gmail.com/) in 2020 on the Gramps Bugs maillist. Avast confirmed a _ **false positive** _ for the same library in the 5.1.1 AIO installer.
