FYI - upgrading to 1Password 6.1.272d was blocked by Avast Internet Security
Avast Internet Security blocked the update to 1Password 6.1.272d (done from the previous version) on my Windows 10 64 bit machine.
It is Avast 12.3.2280 (build 12.3.3154.6) with virus definition version 161016-0
By adding an exception to Avast I was able to work around it, but Avast should be informed imho so they can fix it on their side.
1Password Version: 6.1.272d
Extension Version: 4.6.1.90
OS Version: Window 10 64 bit
Sync Type: Not Provided

That is quite interesting, @hugh_maaskant. Haven't seen this behaviour in Avast's software in a while.
Thank you for notifying us and Avast. We're going to run our own tests—for good measure—and contact them about it, too.Please let us know if we can be of any assistance.
Cheers and have a great week!

Hi,
I received a confirmation from Avast that they have fixed it:
Hello Hugh,
Thanks for drawing our attention to this issue.
Our virus specialists have been working on this problem and it should have now been fixed. The 1Password should not be detected by Avast anymore.
We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me again.
Best Regards,
Prokop
The Avast Support TeamSo I hope not too many other people will be bothered by this.
