Right-click on the Avast icon in the taskbar and just disable it for a little bit while you install the program.

If it continues to give you problems open up Avast, click on scan, click exclusions, and just add the program to the list.

It seems odd that Avast would block a download like this and it makes me think you may have downloaded a bad copy of it that has an adware installer or something. A legitimate download is on Sourceforge and the links on the site are hosted on a site called TuxFamily, which also supports free (as in freedom) software.
