Love to but what about those strange files? Where do they come from since it been stated they are not original files in Pelles C in the first place?
I have tested to download and install other (less competent) versions of C ide's with compilers and all installations has worked without any mishaps or warnings, but I have used Pelles C earlier and like it better...

Just disable Avast and download Pelles C and install it.
Then enable Avast again.
After that make a zip-package of it and you are able to use it in different PCs.

I gave up with Avast and AVG after they was unable to avoid false alarms.

I have used Firefox, Chrome and even Edge, all gives the same result when downloading the install.exe file.

Which web browser are you using?! I vaguely remember old Internet Explorer saving file "parts" in some temp directory, before combining the "parts" into the final download file. Something like this going on? File "parts" confusing your anti-virus program?!

Those files aren't part of PellesC distribution. They should be already on your PC.
From where you downloaded the compiler?
Anyway it is clear that you got infested by some virus.
Check from where they come, clean your PC, then reinstall downloading from the official site.
The compiler must be downloaded from the only official site: http://smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/.

The thing is that these Avast warnings only appears directly after I have downloaded the installation file from the official "smorgasbordet.com" site, latest link: http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/1100/setup.exe .
(I'm running both Avast and Malwarebytes and tries not to get into sketchy sites or downloads to keep my system clean.  ) So what ever these files are they are from the installation file of the Pelles C.
I have never gotten so far to as installing it, it gets banned and put in quarantine as soon as the download is done.
Is there a possibility that someone make's the link re-route to some other server?

Edit: Just tried to download again but ran into yet another warning and also a new file this time... again.
Avast has been warning about these 3 files so far:
DPgmGILC.exe.part
cAKrYi2A.exe.part
fggZhpNv.exe.part.
All marked as Win32:TrojanX-gen. How come there is different files showing up with about 6 hours apart?
(Avast has not been updated during this time.)

I have no idea where "DPgmGILC.exe.part", "cAKrYi2A.exe.part", "fggZhpNv.exe.part" are coming from...
