how to stop avast from scanning pip.exe in python virtual environments?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I use Python quite regularly, and whenever I create a virtual environment and try to pip install a package, avast pops up and makes me wait 15 seconds to scan pip.exe. How can I prevent this? It is quite excessive.
