Antivirus and the new EvonyToolKit

Because I updated the compiler again for EvonyToolKit, some antiviruses are flagging it. So I thought I'd post some info about how to exclude ETK from popular antiviruses.



NORTON 360

Click the "Norton 360" icon when it appears to view the program's main screen. Click "Settings," click "Antivirus" and the click the "Scans and Risks" tab. Scroll down and move to the Extensions/Low Risks section. Click the "Configure" link on the "Items to Exclude From Scans" row.

AVAST

To exclude files, folders, or applications from a particular scan:
Open the Avast user interface, and go to Scan → Scan for viruses...
Select a scan from the drop-down menu and click Scan Settings.
Select Exclusions in the new window. ...
Click OK to save.

Nortan Internet Security
Open your NIS main window by double clicking the norton icon on desktop > settings > computer > antivirus and sonar exclusions > you can view 3 exclusion options. First option will exclude the file from quick and full system scans. The second will exclude file from all protection layers as well as scans. Click 'configure' > add > choose from file / folder > browse using the folder icon > ok > apply > ok > apply > ok. And you are done! . . . . . . . . . . . . Please note that its not recommended to add possible threats to exclusions. If you have a false positive, please submit it to :https://submit.symantec.com/false_positive/ for evaluation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alternatively if your file is already quarantined, you can click 'advanced' tile from main window > quarantine link > click on the quarantined item > more details link on right > restore and exclude this file > yes . To clear the exclusion entry, follow the first method > click on 'clear all' or individually configure for each excluded file.
