Avast Blocking Connection to Azure PostgreSQL from Azure Data Studio

General

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue where Avast seems to be blocking my connection to a PostgreSQL database hosted on Azure, when using Azure Data Studio.

I’m certain that Avast is the cause, because as soon as I disable it, the connection works perfectly.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Added an exception for the server’s URL (myserver.postgres.database.azure.com) – didn’t work.
  • Added an exception for the Azure Data Studio executable – also didn’t work.
  • Verified that with Avast disabled, everything connects without issues.

Would really appreciate any help or recommendations on how to allow this connection without having to disable Avast entirely.

Thanks in advance!

First, I suggest you test the URL and executable is considered clean by submitting to VirusTotal AND/OR https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

If confirmed clean, submit a false positive report to Avast here: Choose Your Sample Submission Type | Avast
