IDP HELU PSE20 when starting React

[McAvoy]

I get the following when starting React (on WSL 2 Ubuntu Guest) in Visual Studio code.

Goes away when I add powershell.exe & powershellise.exe to exception list in Avast.

OS: Windows 2004 (OS build 19041.508)
Avast Version: 20.7.2425 (Build 20.7.5568.597)
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.19.128-microsoft-standard x86_64)

Getting the same issue, when developing react-native with expo ("expo start" command), using similar setup. Adding powershell.exe to exceptions doesn't seem to help - I'm getting the process blocked anyway. Need to turn off shields to work around.

OS: Win10 (10.0.19041)
Avast: 20.7.2425 (build 20.7.5568.599)
WSL: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft)

Same issue.
I've got powershell blocked by the virus system, but the behavior shield is throwing the error.

When running npm start in a react project in WSL2.

This is very annoying as I am trying to get work done and Avast keeps screaming at me.

OS: Win10 (19041.508)
Avast: 20.8.2429 (build 20.8.5653.561)
WSL2: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Okay got a work around.
It is something in the chain that happens when WSL sends a command to launch the browser.

So if you set the Enviornment Variable BROWSER to none

export BROWSER=none

It stops the launch and Avvast is good.

It is a pain if you want autolaunch but it works.

Hi, I encountered the same problem when I start my React server, but only when using virtual environment.
Is there any solution without disabling the browser?
