AV False positive?

For a few days, my AV alerted me that a temp file CR_xxxx.tmp\setup.exe was attempting to modify my files in a suspicious manner.  It informed me that the file was not digitally signed, and that it was authored by Epic, although it could be faked.  I researched the problem and found a forum entry that someone with Avast ran into the issue of a false positive.  I also found your blog about Norton deleting Epic without any user input.  To test this, I went to the Epic about page, which, in Chromium, triggers an update check.  Sure enough, the warning popped up, and I allowed the action.  However, the version number on the about page did not change.  What gives?

I know that it will take some time for your browser to become integrated into AV whitelists, but I feel that digitally signing your software might go far in helping to avoid these issues.  I still don't know if I made a bad decision by allowing the install, and this inspires me to not use your browser, simply to eliminate the variable.  Consider this creative criticism.
