Avast is not a standard component of Windows. If you choose to use it, you have to live with the consequences. They are nobody's fault but your own. I can assure you that the built-in Windows Defender does not mind GPT4All one bit, even the signed version. Nor does Google Chrome report the download as suspicious.
