Hi,
While working on some C++ code of my own (using Visual Studio on Windows 10) I discovered that existing code for creating BMP files was now failing. In the end this was tracked down to the initial file creation with any filename with a *.bmp extension failing - same call with another file extension (for example *.bm2) working fine. After a lot of debugging I tired disabling the Avast shields and the old code again works fine.
To follow up on this,
- How can I get BMP creation working with the Avast shields active (whitelisting the applications in question?)
- I want to eventually share the applications with other users - is there any way I can do this without having to share “how to get this working with Avast” instructions?
[li]Is this a temporary problem - I imagine that *.bmp files may be considered a threat (there was one comment on the avast forum to this effect) but is the only solution to block all bmp file creation actions?
Thanks
