Did anyone else get their downloads tagged with the Win32:Evo-gen virus?  Avast blocked my downloads on part2 and part3
 

Yes, it is old story- been doing it with every update- I have Norton. Disable it when installing and hope- it will not find it when turn back on.

Thanks vladasyn.  I remember some people reporting this in the past but I have not run into it before.  I reported it to Tech Support already so hopefully they will confirm that.
Cheers

It is not a virus- seen it before. I included my Plugins folders in to "Do not scan" list for antivirus. Unfortunately, Sonar updates installed in Program Files folder and it defeats the purpose to have antivirus if you put PF folder on exclude list. But there is a way to exclude folders and files in antiviruses. Otherwise- when you turn it back on, it may find your update or program and delete it.

Yeah, definitely a false positive. This happens every launch. The files are brand new to the world and AV software tends to say "woah now!". We make sure to all run all the necessary virus scans before releasing to public and the system that holds the official installers is locked down (almost to an annoying degree at times) so that nothing is injected when we move things to the cloud servers. The only ill side effect you might catch from installing SONAR X3 is Recording Addiction. Is that a virus?

first time upgrading SF ?   :)

Hardly (been using Sonar since Sonar 4), it is the first time this has happened though.

You can add an exclusion to the file system shield.  In my case the exclusion is
 
C:\Users\cparmerlee\Desktop\X3 downloads\*.*
 
"X3 downloads" is a folder on my desktop.

FWIW,
 
Norton AV is passing the files along just fine - even posting a toast saying so as the DL completes.
 
TIA

I use Mcafee, never have to turn it off to install.  No problems with download.
