Should I unlock this file? It is a false positive?

Why now? I have been using this program for a long time and I updated corona a few days ago.

 Thanks.

IDP.Generic is 'Identity Protection', so when a security application detects a threat called IDP. Generic, it indicates that it was detected by this component (Identity Protection), which generalized a detected file. This detection is often a 'false positive' and is not tied to a specific virus signature. this can sometimes occur with legitimate files, especially after an update, because the behavior of the file or its new signature may not yet be recognized as safe by the antivirus program.

To make sure it's a false positive, you can check the file on VirusTotal. If VirusTotal reports it clean, you can safely whitelist the file in Avast.
