    I would recommend complaining to AVast regarding these false positives.

    I've already submitted several false positives just this morning as Avast seemed to think all your trainers were viruses/malware.

    New avast update this morning, still no fix, I've sent some more false positives to them.

    Wonder how long it'll take for them to actually do anything.

    Probably a few months as usual, I just tell avast not to scan my trainer directory and disable the shielding before I DL any trainers.. It's a hassle but it's a workaround for the time being

    can someone let me know if you can add exclusions to avast 2014 free edition. I uninstalled it and went with bitdefender free av. It seems to do the job now and doesn't report ch trainers as false positives when using windows 8.1. The reason I ask about the exclusions is that I get the feeling from the look of avast that they have taken most of the control away from the user.
