Avast blocks my application

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello

Since today Avast blocks my application execution.
When I look in task manager I see my application launched 3 times , Avast “Last scanned items” show that my application was scanned.
I can’t kill my aplication with task manager, nothing heappens when I click “End task”, no error but the process is not stopped.
Avast is not asking nothing, the blockage is until computer restart.
The aplication is a kit made with NSIS. I tested old kits that were working in the past ant they are not working any more.
I tested with Avast disabled and the kits work fine. I scanned the kits with Avast and found no threats.

Thank you.

You are using a old(er) version of avast.
I suggest to perform a clean installation of the latest version.

I installed the latest version of Avast and the problem is solved.

That is the news I was hoping to hear :smiley:

After a few weeks of tests I found another problem in the latest version of avast.
I use NetBeans and since I updated to the last version of Avast, when I compile something in Netbeans everything freezes.
This is not 100% reproductible, it acctualty happens 2-4 times out of 50 recompilations.
The locked files ale always the files that I change(I change a java file and Avast blocks the class file that can’t be deleted when it must be replaced).
Problem is that some files are locked somehow by Avast and problem can be solved only by restart(this is how I solved it).
I uninstalled Avast about a week ago and the problem dissapeared.
