Thank you, cooby.
One mindset seems to be, “do without your mistakenly blocked program until Avast deems it safe”, with an implication that only Avast could possibly make the proper judgment.
Maybe that’s understandable if you assume that people only use their computers only for frivolous entertainment and don’t understand how their systems work… But not everyone fits that stereotype. Some use their computers for technical work and know exactly what they’re doing.
Clearly Avast has already provided the capability to EXCLUDE things so the product won’t leave users in a “can’t get there from here” situation. I’m not asking to make that less safe - quite the opposite!
