This is a known issue. It is a false positive by Avast (and a few other
anti-virus solutions). We've reported the problem to Avast, but so far
they arn't returning our calls...

Title:
  OpenLP is detected as Malware:Gen by Avast Antivirus

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  New

Bug description:
  Using WIN7 Home Premium SP1, OpenLP 2.1.1, when installing or
  launching the program, Avast Antivirus Pro detects OpenLP.exe as
  Malware:Gen and immediately quarantines the executable. This forced me
  to disable Avast for 10 minutes so I could install OpenLP 2.1.1.
  After the 10 minutes expired and Avast "raised all shields", I
  launched the OpenLP program and Avast immediately quarantined the
  executable again forcing me to disable Avast and reinstall the entire
  package to permit me to resume testing the software. I have reached an
  impasse, I have to either keep Avast and uninstall OpenLP or the
  other...

  No log or traceback available.

  MS Office 2010 installed.
