Hello

I'm a web developer and currently working on a project using React. Whenever I try to run npm start (which runs the scripts necesasry to run my project in localhost) in the commandline, AVG's behavioral shield blocks the scripts saying that it's infected with IDP.HELU.PSE22. It's part of the powershell functionality.

I looked this up but am unable to find a solution. I already added some exceptions to AVG but it seems they don't work.

I have screenshots but I can only add images through weblinks in this post?

Please help!! It's very frustrating! I'm at my wits end!
 

Kind Regards

 

Jan
