Anybody use Crashplan? Avast! is giving me a warning.

[vincentp]

Hey, I recently decided to switch to Crashplan for online backup since my Mozy subscription expired and their new pricing tiers are lousy.  I've had it running backup for a few weeks and haven't noticed anything odd or really paid attention to it at all.

Tonight I tried to open the actual program/interface from the tray icon and Avast! is telling me that the program is potentially unsafe and that I should run it in sandbox.  Has anybody else used this software and found that this is showing a false alarm, or know why it would be giving this warning?  I downloaded the program directly from the company's website, and as far as I know there is nothing else wrong (e.g. other infections) with my computer.
