Avast antivirus vs Zotero

When I try to sync my Zotero library to the cloud, my Avast antivirus kills two files, which then stops syncing. Any idea what's going on?!

    I have a screenshot - but can't upload here. Avast is reporting two infections as follows:

    PDF:UrlMal-inf [Trj]
    Process: /Applications/Zotero.app/Contents/MacOS/zotero-bin
    File: /Users/NK/Library/Application Support/Zotero/Profiles/9dy1htsd.default/zotero/tmp/2FQJ63FG.tmp

    PDF:UrlMal-inf [Trj]
    Process: /Applications/Zotero.app/Contents/MacOS/zotero-bin
    File: /Users/NK/Library/Caches/Zotero/Profiles/9dy1htsd.default/cache2/entries/9174936E6DB9C43E24A123D7275E0BAC3DB2DEE73

    Try to scan these two files by different antivirus. Maybe these files are really infected.
