I'm having issues download...

Sorry, not seeing an issue here. Downloaded from link OK.

But I am seriously getting pissed off with Avast Antivirus again picking up a dll as a false positive.

Everyone, Media Companion does not have a Virus, in case your AV picks up.
Out of no where, Avast is flagging impa.dll as a virus, when last week (before a Avast update) everything we sweet.

All files have been checked and tested against www.virustotal.com.

Bloody Avast!

It was Avast.
Works after I disabled Avast.

If you have Media Companion extracted to a specific location, you can add that location to be excluded from scans.
For example I have D:\_MC as my core folder.
under this I have a folder for Current with a desktop shortcut to D:\_MC\Current\Media Companion.exe
All downloads go into D:\_MC and are extracted into sub folders here.

In Avast, go to Setting, and on General, scroll down to the section called Exclusions, and add the path D:\_MC\* (as my example)

I have again forwarded example of the dll to Avast for exclusion in their next update, but if/when that happens...
Funny thing is, last version of Avast had no trouble, and this version has no issue with the x64 build. Only the x86 build if IMPA.dll

Cheers
