PoB Community Fork update issue.

When I try installing it, my Anti virus says its infected with IDP.generic. I am getting it straight from github like usual. Anyone else having this issue?

Sounds like a false positive.
My most hated game.
My most favorite game.
Such is the duality of man.

I don't have an AV, so no, I don't have this issue.


Edit:
Just for you I downlaoded the latest release, installed an AV and scanned the file. No viruses found.

You could upload the affected file to Virustotal if you're not comfortable with it. You'd see if the majority of antivirus scanners are categorizing it as a threat. If it's only a few and there are no reports from other users there's a good chance it's a false positive.

I also scanned the file. No viruses were found intil it was installing. Virus was detected during the updating of the software and the reinstallation of it.

OK, so I scanned my PoB directory. Still no virus found.
Googling for IDP.Generic shows that it is very often a false positive.

There are only two questions here that matter:
1) Are you sure you downloaded from a trusted site?
2) Which AV are you using?
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
