Hello All,
I'm a System administrator and i run schedule tasks to my virtual machines with POWERCLI scripts.
however while i run the scripts on a machine that is using AVG antivirus it get's removed.
I've tried to exclude powershell folder / exe file in the behavior shield but it still get's blocked and not letting my script run.
Do you have any ideas?

Thanks.

Chen, thank you for providing the screenshot.

This is a false detection by AVG. Please add the .exe file to AVG exceptions list as described in this link. Please also make sure that your AVG program is up to date with latest virus definitions.
