Itch won't finish installation

Every time I try and install itch it stops and shows me this

An this is what the error tells me it is, but I don't really understand what it means or how I should fix it since I know NOTHING about the technical aspects of stuff.

What should I do to fix this and be able to install and open itch as normal?

Are you using any third-party Antivirus software? (ie. not Windows Defender)

Yeah, I use Avast.

Actually, I've already tried deactivating it while installation was going but it always reached the same result with or without so I don't know if it's that.

It's definitely that. Avast likes to flag random files as harmful and messes with them in a bunch of ways. I've done experiments with it before in a VM and it was one of the worst offenders :(

So, any ways to fix it?
As I said I've tried desactivating Avast and the result is no different.
Should I get other antivirus that doesn't mess with itch or something like that?

I have also faced some similar kind of data with it. I have got the Error code 2000-0151 in my laptop and it doesn't store any of the data. So when I open this it starts to get installed and updated, What shall I do?
