I also assume that “When I go to the chest, right click the offending file and select [Restore and add to exclusions]” that the exclusion should be created, the file should be restored, and the program should then work.

“However, when the file is next run, Avast picks it up as a virus again and puts it back in the chest” so it did NOT work.

Why did it NOT work? Isn’t this the proper procedure to immediately get around the FP?

When you create the exclusion, where in the GUI can I see the exclusion (as there is no global exclusion anymore)?

What am I missing here?
