Comment (by boklm):

 I think it is not exactly the same as this question, which is for people
 who already know they want to disable their antivirus to allow Tor to
 work.

 This new question is for people who are worried because they see that
 their antivirus flagged tor browser as suspicious, are wondering why, and
 if it is safe to still install it.

 This would be to answer questions like this one on the blog:
 https://blog.torproject.org/comment/285273#comment-285273

 But maybe the question from https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-10/ can
 be changed to answer both things.
