1.5.70 Won't unzip, Avast thinks it has a virus. Does it???

No, it probably says it's PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) because actual viruses often include miners to use on infected machines. At this point there aren't many currencies worth mining on a Mac though so unless you know what you're doing and why it's probably not worth bothering.
