Hello, today I received the notification to install the FastKeys update, but when I tried to do it, my antivirus gave me the following alert. Is it safe to install the new update?

This has never happened to me before with any FastKeys update.

Thanks. This is a false positive report by Avast. Some antivirus software may wrongly suspect FastKeys (and similar programs) as Spyware because it processes keyboard input. Such reports are false and FastKeys is absolutely safe to use.

The issue has been reported to Avast.
