I downloaded the installer off the website today and as I was installing it, I got a message from Avast! saying that the ngEngine3D.dll contained adware by the name of Win32:Vapsup-GS. Is the ngEngine3D.dll okay and is this a false positive or something?

I attached a screenshot of the avast! warning popup.

False positive.
Avast is giving this message to many users.

You can ignore it, or disable heuristic search (or add the file to your antivirus ignore list and do not scan it anymore)

I don't use Avast, but any other AV will not alert you.

Definitely a false positive. Avastīs heuristic method detects something that could be dangerous while it doesenīt really match any type of virus from itīs database. Or something like that.
