How to Unblock Save Programs & Sites from Avast?


You must have experienced that when you try to install or open a program or a website that according to you is completely safe but Avast doesn’t allow you to access it. This happens because of low occurrence of application in Avast community. This is the reason that Avast can’t make out if that particular program or website is safe or not and as it doesn’t want to take any risk it blocks it. This is known as “False positive”, where the antivirus recognizes the genuine program as wrong. When the software blocks anything it will send a notification to the user informing about it.

The user always has an option to add secure programs and websites to the exclusion list. Once you add them in exclusion, Avast will not consider them as a threat anymore. Thus, you have to be really sure that the program is secure because they won’t be scanned after being added to exclusion. If you have any doubt about any program, then consult our technicians on Avast Contact Number UK.

To Add Folder/ Files/ Programs/ Applications to the Whitelist:

·         Pen Avast user interface.
·         Now go to Settings and then click on General.
·         Look for the tab “Exclusions” and then add the specific program/ application/ file or folder to the “File path” tab.

This way added applications or paths will be excluded from Avast scanning. But the process for excluding websites and URLs is different. You can follow the instructions given below for that:

·         Open Avast User interface and click on Settings.
·         Now press the General tab button.
·         Search for “Exclusions” tab and add the websites or URLs in the “URLs” tab.

This will exclude the website or domain from being scanned by Avast. Now let us talk about adding Avast Shield in the exclusion. For that directions are given below:

·         Open Avast user interface and go to Settings.

·         Now click on Active Protection and select the Shield (File System/ Mai/ Web Shield) for which you want to add an exception.

·         After that, click on Customize link.

·         Then find Exclusion and add the item of the specific shield. (You can also decide when that exclusion applies)

We are not done yet, if you want Avast exclusion to work then you need to restart all Avast shields other the software will keep detecting them as threats. You can also report about false positive detection of Avast to our customer care executives on our Avast Toll Free Number UK. These experts will definitely provide you help for the same.

How to Restore Deleted or Quarantine Files of AVG?
