Hello!
I tried to open a program that I have been using before, but now for some reason Avast does not let me open it.
The file is inside of a folder that is in the exceptions list, which means it should really let me start that program.
Instead, what happens is that a new process is started, "Avast Software Analyzer", and it takes around 30-50% CPU and makes the cursor go between loading and normal states rapidly (which is extremely annoying to look at), as shown here:

I have even scanned that file for virus but it says it is clean.
I have waited for it to finish for over an hour but nothing happens, the process just keeps grabbing 30-50% CPU and using memory up to 2500 MB and keeps just running until I restart my computer or log out.
I have also tried closing the program that causes this from the windows task manager, but it seems Avast is keeping me from doing that as well.
Also, I am on the latest versions:
Virus defintions: 210905-4
Application version: 21.7.2481- build 21.7.6523.688
I am using Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
