Java(TM) Platform SE binary blocked

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

so, a while ago, i had two other apps (windows 10) called “Host Process for Windows Services” and “System”

now it’s blocking “Java™ Platform SE binary blocked”

OS: Windows 10 64 bit
OS Build: 15063.540
Version: 1703

Virus Definitions: 170811-8
Program: 17.5.2303 (build 17.5.3585.203)

other program i use is Malware Bytes, but i rarely have that running

i was mainly asking how to fix this, not so much as report it

4

That is how you fix a False Positive detection … you tell avast lab about it so they can fix (adjust detection signature)

5

it was all fine the other day but when i booted my pc up today, avast started to block java through the fire wall, i got no message or anything,

6

Erm, how do you know it’s blocked by Avast then…?

7

simple, i go into protection >> firewall then where it says “apps recently managed by your firewall” and shows it was “blocked”

  • Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Other security related software installed…?
  • Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?

it’s still being blocked through the fire wall along with host process for windows services

You could try the latest beta: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=15

13

will i need to uninstall avast again? or can i install it over the released one?

14

You can install over the top.

15

i got the beta running now,
Host Process for Windows Services and Java™ SE binary is being blocked and System is now also being blocked

turns out, Avast was changing my network from private to public causing it to block them
