 * I’m having trouble with Elementor and Avast. When I update elementor, Avast keeps
   removing the date-time.php file as it thinks there is a virus in it. Running 
   on a mac localhost
 * Big Sur 11.7.5
   Avast 15.6.0WordPress 6.2
 * Avast error is malware: Other:Malware-gen [Trj]
 * This happens with Elementor 3.12.1, 3.12.0, 3.11.5 etc..
 * This results in a fatal error due to the missing file. Any ideas what Avast is
   complaining about?

 * After rebooting my mac the problem went away. I’m leaving this thread here just
   in case anyone else experiences the same.

 * Same problem here. Reboot doesn’t help. The offending file is automatically quarantined.
