Exclusion List's what's the correct way....

I have a program that until earlier today was fine according to Avast!, apparently a definition update doesn’t like my program any longer.

the program in question is a game “trainer” from CheatHappens. I have been using their trainers for years now, without a complaint from Avast. Till today. and its only the 1 trainer that is being detected.

I have added it to both the “Global” and “Standard Shield” exclusion lists.

Using these paths:
“C:\Users\Cliffro\Desktop\Games\TFU\swfu-cliffro.exe”
“C:\Users\Cliffro\Desktop\Games\TFU*”

And even tried
“C:\Users\Cliffro\Desktop\Games*” (the folder only has shortcuts and my various trainers)

None of those work, Its still scanned/detected and prevented from running.

It would also be useful if you will post the the alert window details.

I currently have 28 of their other trainers as well that are listed as clean according to Avast.

I attached the detection screen + a capture of the results of a folder scan(simple user interface) and a shot of the contents of the folder I scanned, each folder contains atleast 1 trainer. The file I mentioned initially is the only one detected as not clean. It also was listed as clean until the database update earlier today.

It would not let me attach the folder screenshot to the last post.

Here it is
Scan of the folder was done without exclusions.

also what’s all of this to do with the Exclusions not “excluding”?

Well, thanks for all the help… ::slight_smile: But I managed to resolve my issue on my own.

Apparently (I never noticed them) but when you use the “copy as path” option in Win7 it includes " " removing the " " fixed it, it is now excluded.
