Behavior Shield set to "Ask" does not ask, won't exclude files
« on: December 24, 2017, 11:07:15 AM »
The behavior shield snatches a .bat file in Win 7 which starts a program on a delay at boot, and quaratines it.
I have it set on "Ask" but it never does. It just tells me it moved it to the Virus Chest, and I can get it back, but it will not remember that it's ok and does it all over the next boot.

I really need "Ask" to work, with an option to whitelist the file.

When making an exclusion, I had to put the file in its own folder because Avast won't exclude files, just folders.

I've attached the .bat file FYI.

Thanks, Asyn.
I uploaded the file to them a couple of days ago, I think it was.

Perhaps I should add that it's Avast Free.
