Does Avast Work with New v6.x of CryptoPrevent ?

I have used the FREE CryptoPrevent to augment my Avast & MalwareBytes Pro real time protection.
v5.2.2 I was only one-time policy changer…seems v6.x now has real time ?
Has anyone used v6.x with Avast ?

Sure. Very good and useful tool. Just take care on initial whitelisting, i.e., make sure your computer is virus free.

Had 6.01 installed since it came out. I received nothing from Avast but did receive a couple from malwarebytes. Just whitelist it and done deal

This past weekend I did my usual scan with MBAM Premium, and it flagged two registry entries related to the above, both as Broken-OpenCommand. I let MBAM quarantine them, and afterwards googled the warning to find there’s considerable differences of opinion on it. Some sites advise that unspecified malware can set it up as a backdoor, while others say it’s simply a Windows warning that file associations have been changed, and if there’s no other signs of infection then it’s harmless and can be ignored.

Interesting to learn that Crypto-Prevent was the probable source.
