Hi polonus,
Thanks for all the time and effort you have invested in this. There appear to be some host related issues - in part responsible maybe. The information you provided was very insightful and needs looking into. Thanks for that.
Now I’m still unsure of how to proceed with Avast. I would like to keep my computer protected while I continue my work. I have often had issues with compiled AutoIt scripts throwing false positives, but I’ve never been prevented from relocating files and creating backups of my work until now.
I think it would be counter-productive of me to submit a FP report every time I compile a script. Most of my PE files are tests on my local machine and never get uploaded to the internet. Also I can’t wait for a detection update every time I wish to run a test.
If something can be done to give me back control over my computer without having to turn off my AV, I would be most grateful. If in some way I can provide information to help make this easier, I would be happy to do so. I used to get advised to run unknown programs in Sandbox. I always ticked remember the setting and ran programs I trusted normally. Now I don’t seem to be able to do any of these things for some reason.
I still have version 8.0.1489 of Avast running and have received no detection updates for two days. I am worried what might happen if I now update the program.
