Where are Mail Shield Security Exclusions Stored/Saved?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I’ve got the “Mail Shield Security Exclusion”. Just happened. Can’t imagine what changed to cause this.

Where can I find this exclusion list? I’ve checked the Avast program Settings but the only exclusion page I found relates to files, not URLs.

Thanks for any help that can be provided

You may create exclusions by…GUI>Settings>Antivirus>scroll down to exclusions>add exclusion.

Thanks, Para-Noid. I tried specifying the URL in the Exclusions list but I still have the problem. The error is ‘Trust for this certificate has been revoked’. The certificate information identifies the site/certificate as “*.pacific.net.au”. I added the URL as “http://pacific.net.au”.

I’m now thinking the URL Tab in the exclusion list is for websites - Avast automatically inserts the prefix ‘http://’. Hence the Mail Shield Security Exclusion error may not be art of the AntiVirus shield.

It means the certificate is no longer valid.
It may have been revoked due to the heartbleed security issue.
http://pacific.net.au redirects me to http://au.pacnet.com/

Thanks for that analysis, Eddy. It could be a positive, not a false positive or a program bug.

I’ve sent an email to my ISP asking about certificates.

Thanks, and if there are any other suggestions please let me know so I can follow them up as well.
