Update: After trying to think of ways to remove my printer driver from quarantine, I did a restore with my AX64 Time Machine Rescue Disk, and upon boot up I immediately unselected the Self Defense Module in Avast. Then I checked the Virus chest and my printer drive was gone. My printer is up again printing OK. Now, can anyone tell me how to prevent the problem from re occurring when the self defense module is re selected? I have the path and name of the file written down, but I can’t seem to navigate to it. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your response. I know it doesn’t protect my files, but somehow it prevents Avast from sending my printer driver to the virus chest as a false positive. Unchecking it was suggested to me and it worked. Go figure.
OK, after realizing that I had Avast set to Send to Virus Chest, and have changed that to Ask, and excluded my driver file in File System Shield settings for now, I re enabled the Self Defense Module. After using my printer I got no suspicious virus alerts. So I guess I’m good. Thanks to all for your help! ;D
