Thanks so much for the reply.
Good questions.
I'll do my best to respond.
There are a number of .dlls in our application base that, the avast application id's as possibly infected, when the .dlls are loaded into memory.
We know that the .dlls are NOT infected.
In reading other postings on the forum, an exception list has been mentioned.
Apparently, with some versions of Avast (I don't know which ones. The posts that I read didn't mention the version. Or I missed it.), when a dialog is displayed referencing a possibly infected object, one can right click on it and the posting says it will be added to an exception list.
So that Avast no longer will consider that object a threat.
What we would like to do is set up and configure the Avast application on a pc here in our lab.
Update this exception list (if it exists) with the names of the .dll's that we want Avast to ignore.
Then, when Avast is installed on our users pc, we will add the exception list from our LAB pc, to the user pc.
We don't necessaraily want our users to be able to choose an "ignore" option. (So if it really does exist, we will need to figure out a way to disable it.)
But, we DO want the ability to decide which objects on the target pcs, we want Avast to ignore.
And it sure sounds like the "exception list" mentioned in other posts (if I understood them correctly), fills the bill.
So, I was hoping that someone more experienced with the Avast product than I have, might know a bit about this exception list and be able to explain how to populate it and then propagate it to other pcs.
Thanks once again for the reply.
I DO appreciate any help\advice I can get.
