HTTrack comes up as having a trojan horse with avast! Home edition when trying
to download it.

Specifically, Win32:Trojan-gen {Other}, which is of course not specific at
all. From what I can tell it relates to programs that install proxy servers on
the victim's machine.  I can see where Httrack could be misinterpreted that
way.  

I'm assuming your program is fine, but I wanted to let you know about this
virus warning.  For people who have not used your software as long as I have,
it may scare them off. 

Thanks for the awesome product.
