Avast blocking latest update 10.37S Build 60

[rickyac]

Hi,
Anyone else being blocked form loading the latest update? Avast is preventing me from opening it and its sending to a virus lab for interrogation. I cant open it either as an administrator

Update: Avast have come back stating the file is clean and its allowing me to update

Update: Its allowed me to update but again its sending WD exe to virus lab for checking as its stating there is a threat.

Update: Avast have yet to come back and so I disabled it for 10mins then run WD now firewall is blocking it!

I had that, so I switched to Bitdefender. Then I found Bitdefender while the top anti whatever, ate a lot of memory. So now I have Kapersky, until the US decided the Russian based company is a no-no.

Can you put into the exclusions, weatherdisplay? the exe portions?

Avast have now come back with a clean bill of heath of the WD.exe so it now opens as usual, first time I have had this…

often the virus is the antivirus program 8O

It probably gets picked up because WD opens other programs from itself like webcamcapture, clientraw etc
