Add-on woes in Windows 7 HP SP1

SSI01 · 03-17-15, 06:50 AM

I've been doing some research into the Avast application. Right now it's disabled until I restart the computer, which I will do after the install.

I also run Sniper Elite V2 via Steam on this machine, and now some program is blocking the .exe file in that sim to keep it from running. Until last night it was working fine. I've sent an email to Avast Support to have them tell me EXACTLY, step by step, how to allow SH4, SE2, MS Flight Simulator 2004 and others to run on this machine without interference. For some reason Avast is determining any .exe file from any source is a threat to this machine and blocks that action. I'm trying to get comprehensible instructions that allow me to permanently block that action by Avast. Disappointing.
