Recently testing the app on some mosaic data, which it handled fine. Then I decided to try to save as a file type other than fits.

TIFF saved ok, but when I tried to save as .png my Avast security threw up an error and quarantined the file. I have tried to attach a file of the screenshot.

That would be a false error, it happens sometimes with anti-virus products. If you trust it, you should be able to mark it as safe I think.

I rather dislike "just trusting". I will follow up with submitting the file to Avast Security to see if they can verify before I mark it safe.

Always a good idea to do ofcourse I can only tell you that APP itself isn't producing infected data. 🙂
