Avast has started blocking my c++ compiler from compiling the programs that i am trying to write.
I have added the file path of the compiler (C:\DEV-CPP\MINGW32\BIN\LD.EXE) into the exclusions box on the antivirus tab, but this has had no effect (ie it is still stopping me from working).
Switching off protection completely is not a satisfactory solution, as I am still connected to the internet while working, and so this would open me up to infections.
Please advise what I need to do (in addition to adding the path of the compiler to the exclusions box) that will allow me to continue working.
Thank you.
(Using Win XP, if that makes a difference)
