I keep getting a virus warning from AVG in Windows when I try and download the Fedora 32 ISO.

Hi @zeissuser, welcome to the Fedora community!
If you’ve not had a chance yet, please look at the #start-here category. It has some very useful information on using the forum and tips on Fedora usage.
Are you downloading the ISO or Fedora Media Writer?

Seems like a false positive:

Jajajaja, Win64:Evo-Gen, that’s a generic message, likely based on heuristic, prone to false positive. Just ignore the message.

I work for a Swedish government organisation. We get several false positives a year from within our own IT department when we download Ubuntu ISOs… Windows Defender is a bit over protective at times but better than the opposite.
That appears to be part of the marketing ploy by AVG. McAfee does the same thing by popping up 2 or 3 similar warnings on my laptop whenever I boot windows.
It is an iso. They don’t know what is in it so poof, they block it.
