Avast Antivirus shows mcuxpressoide.exe as a threat

[nehuix]

So I just installed the MCUXpresso and a frdm k64f SDK from the site and after I ran the programm I got a display from Avast saying that it has blocked mcuxpressoide.exe because it is infected with IDP.Generic.

I would like to know if it's a false positive or if I should be worried.

Thanks in advance.

PS: the window displayed is in Spanish, sorry.
