I'm somewhat confused (easily done).

Where are you trying to do this, given you have posted in the Avast Cleanup sub-forum  ?
Now I don't use Avast Cleanup, but I don't know how it would go about cleaning up a URL or what Add is meant to do.

If you are trying to clear browsing data, surely that would be done in your browser settings - Avast Secure Browser or whatever browser you use.

OK I understand now.

I think I saw something in the forums fairly recently which may be related (not directly).

It had something to do with exceptions not being honoured and there was a response by Avast in the topic.  It was something to do with other Avast Components, exceptions not honoured by the Antivirus Exceptions.  This was/is meant to be/been resolved in a recent or upcoming program update.

Though I haven't been able to find that specific topic.

No problem.

I'm not sure if this issue, the non integration of exclusions/exceptions with the main antivirus exclusions/exceptions was related to CleanUp or another additional Avast paid product.  Might be worth a trawl through this sub-forum.

Hello everyone,

thank you for reporting the issue, we've also discovered the same proble internally and it was already fixed and in the latest version (23.3.15198) the problem does not occur again.
