Visual Studio 2015 raising Trojan Horse Atros4.BPLN

Viruses & Threats

Hello,
I am trying to work with Microsoft's Visual Studio Community 2015, and I keep getting the Trojan Horse Atros4.BPLN alert from AVG when I try and compile my programs. Here is the [more info] link:
Oh hi! It’s been a while...
I have followed previous threads and Deactivated AVG, installed Visual Studio, then added the Visual Studio Folder to the exceptions list and I still get this detection. I downloaded Visual Studio from Microsoft Imagine site.
My question is, is this an AVG issue or an MS issue and is there a better fix?
I am happy to add more information if needed.
