I try to have Avast ignore one file “C:\Users\paul\ssl.log” but it does not work.
I cannot delete this file unless I completely disable Avast and reboot Windows 10. Even then, it sometimes requires a second reboot. Windows Explorer says Avast has the file in use.
The file logs SSL keys from a Chrome browser session, so Avast thinks it is suspect. So far so good, but Avast should completely ignore this file if I tell it to ignore it.
Please advice what I can do, because I need to delete and recreate this file every day. I would prefer to be able to do this without disabling Avast (twice?) and rebooting Windows 10 (twice).
The setting I used is “Menu - Instellingen - Algemeen - Uitzonderingen” which translates to Menu - Settings - General - Exceptions (I don’t have an English Avast.)
Nothing is set in the ransomware section. Disabling the ransomware does not help, since deleting the file in Windows Explorer still has the “File is in use by Avast” error message. Even disabling all shields in Avast does not help, the file is still in use by Avast. The only thing I can do is “disable forever” and reboot. Then I can delete this file.
