Good Morning All,

I don’t want to start a new topic since this was almost the 1st Google result I got on this subject “avast exclusion not working”.

Program Version: 2015.10.2.2218

Here is my fix - this worked after messing with the application so long. It’s buried.

Right Click on Avast in Taskbar and select “Open Avast User Interface”

On the bottom left you should have a menu item called “Settings” - Click on that

A new window will pop up - On the top left you should have a “Active Protection” option - Click on that

Now click on “File System Shield” > “Customize”

Now on the left hand side, click on “Exclusions” and finally “Add”

BINGO - Works for me!!! 8)
