Well Pondus's reply hits the nail on the head PUPs essentially aren't false positives. When you consider what that does, 'key logger,' it can be used for good or evil and an antivirus can't determine intent.
So the user has to determine intent, e.g. did they install the program and are they aware of the purpose of the program and why it might be considered a PUP.
If you aren't planning on doing a boot-time scan frequently, then it isn't an issue as PUPs aren't scanned for by default on on-demand scans. The exception being the boot-time scan, which does scan for them and also scans archive files.
You can change the default settings in the boot-time scan when you schedule it (Settings, see image), so it doesn't scan for PUPs or scan Archives (which will greatly reduce the scan duration); there are other changes that you can make to the scan to suit your needs. Or you can apply the exclusion in the avastUI, Settings, Exclusions, section as I mentioned (copy and paste the full path and file name into it).
