Avast One anti-virus reports Photo.exe as containing virus.

Avast One anti-virus reports Photo.exe as containing virus. Re-installation is needed afterward. to make AP work again.

It happened when I tried to open Help from AP menu.

Also, I had to explicitly give Avast a permission to allow AP opening a JPEG file.

Hey Yuri P.

This does happen from time to time. It's just Avast doing its job 'too well'. It's called a 'False Positive' - I'd recommend giving full permission to Affinity if Avast allows it.

Thank you, Chris, 

I already did just that.

However, I suspect that less technical users may find it difficult (like, for example, finding Affinity 2 executables, Photo and Help).

It may be useful to make it a public knowledge in one of the Help sections or in the installation guide.

I believe we have an FAQ somewhere, though this might be BitDefender and not Avast.
