Why are you downloading from cnet.com if you already have avast installed ?

If you just want to update the program, just use the Program Update from the avastUI > Settings > Update.

I can't see the full path to the detection (8C4B.tmp) and from your screenshot I'm not entirely sure this is detecting avast that you are downloading.
