Avast detected Android Studio (the latest version) as ransomware.

Here is the message:

studio64.exe is trying to delete or change the file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\b42cc0c3858a58db2db37658219e6400_9205d3aa-d330-4b9c-977e-9d84ee659886...
Ransomware

By the way it was the first time i ran the software on a fresh windows 10, i ignored the warning and allowed it to change or delete the file.

Should i be worried about that or is that what Android Studio always does?
