exclude encrypted files

Hello!

What should I do in the Avast Free Antivirus to prevent from transferring encrypted files (exe from 7zip) to quarantine?

avast only move infected files to quarantine so why would you exclude that?

what does the avast message say when detecting/moving?

If you password protect 7zip archives then content should not be detected

This will disable all exe files, and I only wanted exe created by 7zip with encrypted content.

My Avast moves to quarantine all encrypted (by 7zip) exe files.
They are not infected.
Avast shows the scan window first.
Then shows the unpacking window.
Then the windows disappear and the file goes to quarantine.

  • Which version of Avast Free…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

When you go to the quarantine, what is the name of the detection there?

  • Avast ver 18.4.2338
  • Windows 7 32 bit SP1/Build 7601
  • Windows Firewall, Windows Defender
  • There were no other AVs.

Threat name is “DS#FinalAlBlalgo;”.

DS#FinalAlBlago seems like a file name and not the detection (malware) name given by avast

post/attach a screenshot from avast chest

My mistake. It should be “DS#FinalAlBlalgo”.
Here is a screenshot
I found only one page autoimmune reaction about it.

Never seen that avast detection name before …

+1 Best you wait for Igor…

I’ve been waiting for a year and a half.
