How do I prevent Avast from scanning a application which changes it's code?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

So, I’m a hobbyist developer, and I’m creating a simple OpenGL application, however I’m having a sort of annoying issue where when I compile my software (after I have changed some part of the code), Avast scans it resulting in my software to run incorrectly (OpenGL fails to load the window properly I think), and after the scan is completed it force restarts the software.

This is really annoying since it adds at least 1 minute to every time I test run my application, even if I just change a single letter in my code.

Is there any way to make Avast not scan my application, even though it changes code constantly?

Set a exclusion for it.

What would happen if you were to do a right click scan on the changed file, before you actually ran it.

I’m wondering if it would be in the transient cache, so unless you receive a new VPS Update or restarted the system (when the transient cache is cleared).

I thought I already tried that but when I checked again I realized I added exclusions on the wrong project, lol.
Well, works now, Avast does no longer scan it. Thanks for the help! :slight_smile:
