Blizzard WOW vs Avast Antivirus

Today I tried to access world of warcraft but alas Avast Antivirus had decided that it was a malware threat.

If you are experiencing this issue I believe that it is a false positive and should be reported to Avast.
The way to get around this is by adding Blizzard to your Exclusion List.

You can do this through avast by:

1. Right click on your avast system tray icon and select "Open avast! user interface".
2. Click on "Real time shields"
3. Click on "Expert Settings"
4. Click on "Exclusions"
5. Press the "Add" button
6. Press the "Browse" button on the blank row
7. Select the location of your Blizzard folder (eg. C:\Program Files(x86)\Blizzard\*
8. Click "Ok".

Thats all you need to do - play wow as normal.
