I have Avast home edition on my XP home machine and I regulaly update database and program files. Recently I noticed a new feature, whenever I try to open a *.exe file, I receive a warning from Avast, let me make sure it is the one I want to open. I like this peature. But in the same time, Avast also gives me warnings that I have to click "Allow", because if I click "Deny", it keeps coming, coming and coming. I don't know what are these program doing? Are they dangeous exe files? How can I get Avast not showing them. The messages are as following:
avast! Behavior Blocker Event:
Open File For Writing
File name: C\System Volume Infomation\_restore...\A0193479.exe
Program: SVCHOST.EXE
or another Program:
File name: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\...\edb.chk
Program; wuauclt.exe
I googled these two files and know that they are Win processes, but I am not techy enough to understand these. I am wondering if other Avast users had similar problems as mine, how do you do with them? By the way, I haven't updated Win XP SP2 yet.
