Avast 17.1.2286 prevents synchronization of roaming profiles

Hi,

we have the problem that Avast prevents synchronization of windows roaming profiles.
Because the files / folders under "c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Avast Software\Avast" can not be accessed.

Is there a solution for this?

I also have the same problem and so far no one has a solution!
When I uninstall avast, it works again.
Does anyone have the previous version of this one? It at least worked.

avast self defense is protecting the folders/files from avast.
That is why it is not possible.

It shouldn’t be possible because if it was, malware could easily cripple avast.

What options do we have to use Avast and roaming profiles?
If Avast creates non-writable files, then this should not be done in the roaming directory!

My workround:

exclude the avast folder from the roaming-profile with a group policy.
And the Avast folder must be deleted from the profile on the server

But this is a workaround, not a solution
