...I never had a virus issue with Daz installers and I'm using NIS which is prone to issuing false positives. Annoying? Yes, but it means it is doing its job.  All you have to do is change the permission status (don't have Avast so I'm not sure how to do it there).

My complaint with the .exe installers is that they mess up the runtime (particularly the Content/Studio folder) with folders that contain no loadable content. I am very pleased Daz will be offering a Zip file option (which will be retroactive to older content as well) which shows they have listened to us.
