Report as a false positive - there are no malware in ARC:)

You will also require to disable avast when using your ez-robot, as you have seen in the connection diagnostic instructions: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Lesson/14

EZ-Robot communication protocol and tcp ports cause issues with most virus software.

You actually don't need to disable Avast, but you do need to put ARC in the exception list. It is blocking because ARC communicates on port 23 and Avast thinks that is dangerous (it uswd to be when Windows Server unstalled Telnet by default. Hasn't been a real issue since 2003)
