Hi;
I am running Avast (v. 7.0.1474) along with Online Armor firewall (v. 6.0) on Win XP-SP3. Until about 2 months ago, the two worked well together. Each was set up as excluded from the other.
Recently though, Avast's emergency updater has been trying to run programs (with cryptic/numbered file names) out of the windows temp folder. Since the executable is not in the Avast instal folder or the work folder (.../all users/application data/.../Avast), Online Armor detects this as a possible threat.
Since Avast is excluded from Online Armor (using Avast's 2 folders), I have no way of telling Online Armor to trust the emergency updater program. Thus the only possible solutions I see would be to have Avast put the temp files in its own folder(s), or have the the temp files always renamed to the same program/file name, so I could allow that particular file to be run. Unfortunately, these are both things that are out of my control.
Anyone know of how I can work around this?
Thanks;
