Avast Version: 111114-0
The path is just a folder on the C: drive so nothing special.
I’ve actually solved my own problem now - I noticed that avast was actually resetting any changes I made in the settings (including turning things off etc.) which made me think it was being overwritten by some network-defined settings. This turned out to be the case as I went to the admin console and moved the PC to a unique group. Then under the group settings. As I wanted to stop the File System Shield from scanning this folder when files are read and written to it, under Expert Settings I was able to add on the end of “avastcfg://FileSystemShield/FileSystem/ScanExceptions” “;C:\example\examplefolder*” and that seem to do the trick.
Thanks anyway though
