Bug Description

I have been using HomeBank for a long time and have had warnings when I tried to install the exe in Windows. Now, I wanted to move from 5.8 to 5.7.4 because 5.8 doesn't reflect the amount I enter and doesn't enable the Save button after I have made a change (that's a different bug altogether and am not listing it here.)
Now, when I opened the xhb file in 5.7.4 it doesn't allow me to open because the file was saved using a higher version (as I had expected.) So, thought of checking if there are any new versions available in the HombeBank site, but my antivirus flags the site down as a dangerous page. Haven't had such issue earlier. Any pointers?

Ah antivirus... What is your antivirus ?
What does it say, (screenshot and/or copy/paste text) ?

If you own a legit paid version, could you send them a report, I would be interested of the reason they flag the website as so... Maybe the reputation or whitelist system.
I do have Bitdefender * on my professional computer and do not get the report.
