• Avast antivirus uses virus and malware
  definition files to suspect files which may be
  harmful to your computer but sometimes it
  suspects a harmless file as malware and gives a
  false result because of the files name, size,
  data or actions. Fortunately, Avast allows its
  user to set file exception in both the Scanner
  and Guard modules to avoid false positive results
  from files you know are harmless while performing
  the on-demand scan or an on-access scan.
• Here, in this article, Avast Support has
  provided a simple and precise method in order to
  set a file exception for your security software.
