AVAST causing network errors

[REDACTED]

Since the latest update of avast (as far as i can track) i am getting warnings from devices with web based mangement about failed login attempts.

Tracking this down led to me find that avast is now doing a HTTP scan on my network for a number of suspect cgi files. As devices with web -based management have been configured to send alarms on authentication failure, those scans trigger a significant amount of alarms. In a single day those alarms can be over 200 in my small home network.

I also do not want to disable the warnings on those network devices, as those give me valuable information when an attacker tries to break-in. Especially because that means he has managed to get through the firerwall.

How can I control the network scan that avast is doing?

Cheers

You can add file types extension as: *exe (for example) to
the File System Shield

Thanks, that may be the way to do it. Will test  that, although we are talking about excluding url here, and not about file type extensions. avast is really doing HTTP GET on a number of internal devices which is triggering alarms.

You can exclude a URL under Active Protection, Web Shield, Customize
