I have been using the Mp3tagTCButton created by user @dano for quite some time now
Unfortunately something like a month ago an update of my free version of Avast antivirus software made it less usable. And that is because if I use it to send file or files to Mp3tag from FreeCommander I will get to see them in Mp3tag. But also after something like 1.5 seconds I will get a popup window from Avast informing me of a threat IDP.HELU.Autolt9
being blocked which is coming from the process of C:\MY FOLDER WITH Mp3tag - Total Commander Button\Mp3tagTCButton.exe
; under the name of something like D0A3.tmp or 3BFC.tmp. I can add it to the exception list but this will have to be repeated for the very same file the next time I will load it to Mp3tag with the Button- which is logical, as it is being handled as temporary thing
But here is the funny thing about it: I can send in the exact same way the very same file to my audio editor [Sony Sound Forge 7.0] and it will not get such prompt from Avast
And here is the not funny thing about it: despite manually adding to exception list in Avast paths C:\MY FOLDER WITH Mp3tag - Total Commander Button\Mp3tagTCButton.exe
and C:\MY FOLDER WITH Mp3tag - Total Commander Button\*
I still get this pup up windows from Avast
So as you can see, if it was not for the audio editor working A-OK I would not have posted this not on Mp3tag ere but on the Avast forum. But how can it be that Mp3tag is affected by this while other software is not?
But it seems that I also have [just a minute go] already found a solution to the problem:
after adding the path in form of "C:\MY FOLDER WITH Mp3tag - Total Commander Button\Mp3tagTCButton.exe"
instead of just C:\MY FOLDER WITH Mp3tag - Total Commander Button\Mp3tagTCButton.exe
[i.e. with quote marks instead of without them] the problem went away. Which is illogical, because paths for those temporal exception were created / listed by Avast without the "
signs [and that was why I did not try them out in the first place]. And what is more mind bothering: after removing all of the exceptions from Avast [i.e. also the one for the Button] the problem also seems to be no more
But how is that possible at all?
I know: it seems like a problem of the antivirus software- but then again there was this duality with audio editor
I am using Mp3tag 3.04b with FreeCommander XE 2020 Build 810a 32-bit public on Windows 10 x64
