Hi
Before I buy a number of licences for the Pro version of Avast I need to check a couple of things.
1. I'm going to be working with some files and applications that AV software typically reports as 'malicious'. I know the risks involved in operating these files and am comfortable that I can manage that risk appropriately. Is there a way within Avast Pro that I can specify certain folders/files that it should ignore (not scan, not clean, not move, not block)?
2. I also plan to work with VMWare Workstation and run some files/tools within virtual machines.
a) Will Avast Pro affect the running of these machines in any way?
b) Does Avast protect virtual machines or will I need to install additional protection?
c) If I need additional protection does the Avast Pro licence allow me to install Avast Pro within multiple virtual machines on the same physical machine?
d) If I have files within the virtual machine that the Avast Pro installation of the 'host' machine would consider malicious will it attempt to change/affect them or will it ignore them?
I know there's a lot of questions there, but I'm potentially looking at multiple licences so I want to make sure this is right.
Thanks for the help
