Over Zealous????

Hi

I am trying to download two programs called Odin 3.09 and a Samsung firmware setup. Both are in the form of a .zip file.

Avast will not let me do it. It says that they are viruses but I am sure that they are safe.

In the popup screen that Avast throws up to tell me that they are viruses, I have clicked on the line that says words to the effect to ignore the scan on these but to no avail.

How do I sort this to allow the programmes to be downloaded.

I am using the latest up to date version of Avast free

Any help would be appreciated.

After adding something to the exclusion list, you need to reboot.

I’m not sure you need to reboot after adding items to all exclusion lists. Of course, there are multiple exclusion lists within Avast, so maybe it’s true for some and not others.

It would be great if all those exclusion lists were integrated into a table together.
