Looks like you're not the only one this is happening to:

If it happened to me, I would click "Report as false positive" and see what happens.

Hii! @Ali It is my understanding that you are getting the error when you are trying to launch the MATLAB.

It is safe to assume that this is a false positive warning from Avast. This issue is commonly caused if antivirus software suspects that a file from your MATLAB installation is harmful and quarantined it.

To resolve the issue, open your antivirus software, navigate to the "Quarantine" menu, and release “libmwxtester_core_mi.dll” from quarantine to be able to successfully launch MATLAB.
