I go to virus chest -> Restore and add to exclusions. File gets restored and when I open it Avast puts it back to chest...
Active shields: File system shield, Mail and Web shield with PUP disabled on all shields.
Can anyone answer the original question asked? Forget about false positive, let's just focus on that
I added it to exclusions. The question is how do I actually tell Avast to EXCLUDE this file from any scan since EXCLUSION is not working?
you say it is detected as PUP ..... if you turn off PUP in all shields and scan types it should not be detected
That's the problem. It should not be detected but it is.
Active shields: File system shield, Mail and Web shield with PUP disabled on all shields.
Have you read the 1st post? Actually, never mind, I solved it.
