Inkscape doesn't install any additional drivers.

I've had problems with Avira detecting Inkscape as a virus which I solved adding the executable to a whitelist. Never crashed my computer, though.

Please, answer the following:
- Inkscape version
- Operating system
- Antivirus vendor and version
- Is there any warning about a virus before it crashes? If so, which one?
- Did you download Inkscape from the official webpage?

First let me state that Inkscape is not responsible for any problem with my
computer. My system was shutting down during full scans with my A/V program over
the last few weeks. Between the software people and myself, we determined that
it was a "Driver" problem. I didn't remember upgrading any drivers recently so I
looked a what new programs I installed. That's why I contacted you. The program
was installed about the time the crashes occurred. We have since cleared
Inkscape of any bad behavior, That makes me happy. I loaded the program to
create a drawing for some parts and I LIKE IT! I will be a fan and contribute to
the program where and when I can. You may publish this reply if you want.
