If you are using Avast Internet Security (AVIS) version 18 or newer version of Avis with Windows 8 or later operating system , then all executable files from the Program Files folder are automatically added into firewall rules without any further action required from the user’s side .
You will see a pop-up window where you can enter any application that you want to add. You can also choose files or folders that you want to add as an exception.

For example, if you have some important documents on your computer and they need to be scanned by Avast antivirus software, then there is no need to worry because this tool allows users to exclude specific items from scanning.

- Click Add Exception. This will open the Avast User Interface where you can see all the programs that have been blocked. On the left, select one of these programs and click Remove All Protection to unblock it.

Restarting avast! might also be necessary if avast! was running while making changes in its user interface; but make sure all other open windows related to this program are closed first so they do not cause any problems when restarting avast!:
