On Monday night i did the latest Avast update, scanned my computer. The next day i was at work and found that a program that i need for work now wont open. the start up logo for this program will come up then disappear a few seconds later. i ended up doing a system restore, my program worked again. after i reactivated Avast tonight as it lost the subscription details in the restore, the program now doesn't work again. i am a TAFE teacher and the program i need to work is called LOCO it's a assessment writing tool that allows me to simply write assessments to upload to a moodle site.
i don't know how to start investigating a resolution to this problem. any advice please

I just did an experiment,
I turned the Avast Shields off one by one and found that the program i need will operate when the Web Shield is off.
now i need to figure out how to make an exception for that program. There is a box for URL exceptions and MIME exclusions and there is also one for processes but i have know idea what text I need to put in and where.
Any ideas?

The full path of the program that you want to exclude.
Example: C:\Users\Bob\Downloads\SUPERAntiSpyware.exe
Hope that helps.
