Unable to manually add a process under system32 to Avast firewall

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Whenever I add a new application rule of the processes under C:\Windows\system32 folder, the version under C:\Windows\SysWOW64 is always used instead.

2

For example, I added dllhost.exe under the folder C:\Windows\System32 then dllhost.exe under C:\Windows\SysWOW64 was added.

Anyone got any ideas?

Unless you are using Windows XP (where it wouldn’t work), please try to manually type C:\Windows\Sysnative\dllhost.exe into the input box instead.

Yeah! It works.
