I found an bug of ransomware protection,when i add folder or drive to this option my folder or my drive for protect not add even after restart windows.

You don’t say what avast version you are using (free or paid version, AIS or Premier) ?
On the free version, only the default locations are protected. Those with the AIS or Premier paid versions can add additional folders to be protected.

When has this changed? Free protecting only default locations was just my suggestion or have they actually implemented it?

I thought I had read it somewhere, other than just your suggestion.

If it hasn’t been implemented, then the question asked of ‘mohammadi.a1370’ is even more crucial as it would appear those options are in the beta build.

Hi Guys

I found an bug of ransomware protection,when i add folder or drive to this option my folder or my drive for protect not add even after restart windows.

Please fix this bug

Confirmed.

Although this was working ( I tested it myself ) it doesn’t anymore.
Also two new folders ( specific related to my system ) were added to the default protection.

My guess is they ( trying to ) tweak it with micro updates, and that is also the reason for this issue.
I will ask on Slack.

Greetz, Red.

Seems like new BETA is out (3001)
While tray icon displayed yellow exclamation mark before update, it did not show it later (after update) when restart is needed.
Should it show it?
