Avast! Antivirus keeps moving programs to chest even AFTER adding to exceptions

Pirates don't follow rules, they loot whatever they want!

Have you tried either Steam support or official Open Canvas support?
Depending on where you purchased the program from.

Why don't you just uninstall it?

Why do you even use Avast?

You don't want to pay for an antivirus (even if it costs just 8 Euros per year to use Eset on 3 PCs!)? That's fine!

Try the free one-month/week versions of some decent antivirus like Eset or Kaspersky. They are both the best on the global market and they give a free trial for a month. The only drawbacks here are:

• you will have to create a new email every month
• you have to change IP every month
• you have to uninstall all the folders and entries of the antivirus from your PC (including hidden folders and the registry entries) before you install the next one.

Avast and AVG are completely useless simply because they are free. Get rid of them if you want a clean PC.

I have noticed the same, it gives a false positive, you add it to exceptions, and it still gives an alert and stuff.
I think, but I am not entirely sure, this only stops after restarting windows.

That is why i quit using that crap and why i quit using anti virus all together they seem to let virus through but want to reject legit programs.

I only use malwarebytes as i do not download stuff from non trust sources or random sites so even when i did scans i came up with nothing,yet it wanted to keep throwing in some programs into quarantine despite making an exception for it.

All i can say is like someone else said try another virus scanner and find one that suites your need or at least one that will listen to what you tell it to do.You use to have more control over this crap now you can not even disable it fully without removing it.There should be options to fully disableif you so chose but not nope,

Anyhow in short as far as i know the only way around it at the least is to wait for them to fix it so it is not a false negative.Any recent updates of the program?maybe some changes made triggered it,either way it sucks and good luck.

Avast is not a good antivirus at all. Your best move would be to uninstall it really.

Am I the only one here who uses Malwarebytes Anti-Malware? I've had it for a year or two now and It's still good. It has a free, trial, premium and business version. I'm using the free version and I must say even though it doesn't open up on start-up or scan on opening(Trial and premium feature), all you need to do is remember to open it and scan every so often and you'll be fine.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I used Avast before and unistalled it because it interfered with a game somehow.

Uninstall Avast! since it's shit...
