OK, slowly but with progressive successes we're getting there, to wit:
R. Check the Read condition box and avast won't scan read access to that file.
W. Check the Write condition box and avast won't scan Write access (editing) to that file.
X. Check the eXecute condition box and avast won't scan that file when it is executed (Run).
That's the kind of info I was looking for. I also found a bit more info online:
https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB168I'll most definitely be saving your provided info in my help file for this subject.
The "X" explanation, I can fully understand.
The "W" explanation's "Write access (editing)" is an unknown to me.
The "R" explanation's "read access" is a maybe, as in avast wont read the file?
Further clarification for this NUBE dummy on this subject will be appreciated, unless you have an online url source U can provide so I can access & study.
Again, your help is truly appreciated. Jim
