I am developer and avast free is really annoying for me. During development avast report many false positives… For example today I am building Qt from sources under visual 2012 and to this time I have got about 20 false positives and each time I have to go to quarantine and revert file and restart build…
Another thing, during reverse engineering there is each time false posive when I work with packers or when i sometimes change code during execution.
Could you add an option which will disable some directiories from scan or it will not automaticaly move my files or just set sensitiveness of scanner to lower level in this directory?
I know what I am doing, I am using avast for about 8 years and I like it but in this situation is really annoing and if i do not find any workaround for it then I will have to change your protection software to something another but i would like to avoid it
The exclusion list admits both files and folders, wildcards are also accepted.

Hello,
send the detected files to virus@avast.com and put “False positive” to email subject.
