Is it possible that you could put those particular files in the exclusion list?
Yes. They are in the exclusion list for the screen saver, they are in the exclusion list for the On-Access Protection control, and in the exclusion list under Avast Program settings.
The exclusion list will read the 'path' as text.
So, can you test if you add different forms will it work?
"C:\Program files\Test Files\*.doc"
"C:\Progra~1\Test~1\*.doc"
etc...
Maybe, I'm thinking now I'm messing the Professional version (where I have a special exclusion list for Screen Saver module) and Home one...
Well, first, yes, I've tried all forms. I've got the path only, I've got the path with the filename, I have the filename only, and I have the filename with the wildcard.
And the screen saver module
does have an exclusions list in the Home/Free version.
Anyway, the best will be ask and cry for Alwil to exclude this false positives from the virus signatures
I don't know the proper way to ask and cry. I really like the interface of the program, but I'm thinking I may just move to another scanner - maybe F-prot or AVP. I thought that if I liked this one, I would buy it, but it seems that, at least for me, there are issues and I don't really know how to resolve them either by workarounds or by
Awil fixing the damn virus defs - or at least confirming that the file I sent has a confirmed virus (it doesn't).
Thanks for the help so far though.
