I´m ussing free edition avast on XP ,SP3. Everything works perfect excepting exclusions, I have a serious problem, Avast doesn´t respect my exclusions, they are already configured but everytime I need to open the excluded folder program Avast detect it like a troyan and send to the chest. The program I tried to open is truthworty and safe used for thousand users so it is not a security problem. Anyway the full responsability lies on me so I need to have the freedom to use wathever program I want even if it hurts me. I have the right to protect my privacy so I don´t like to send the name or a copy of the program, I only need to know to exclude efectively on Avast, EXCLUSIONS DOESN´T WORKS. Another serious lack on exclusions is the inability to select exactly the file you want to exclude, instead we have to exclude the whole folder. I hope you can help
I already headed this issue to the development team about problem.But you can apply this fix for next version
@ tecnoman
In addition to Settings > Exclusions, have you also added the exclusions to (on left of UI) Real-Time Shields > File System Shield > Expert Settings > Exclusions?
