While downloading the install files for CS3, my antivirus program Avast flagged the ADBESTDSCS3_ESD1_WWE.exe file "becuase it was infected with Win32:MdeClass". Is this something that i need to be concerned about?

Is that the NEW special CS3 installer?

Yours is the first/only message I have seen concerning a virus claim, so I would check with Avast to see what they say... maybe even send them the file that Avast claims is infected

after submitting my file to Avast they have whitelisted it as a false positive.

Did you get the CS3 replacement installer and new, non-activation serial number from this link?
