At the moment add the whole folder to exception list. Submit at least of the script file to AVG Labs http://www.avg.com/submit-sample. Select the option "False Alarm on file" and describe the issue and upload the sample. The file will be analysed and will be removed from the database. Once it is done you can remove TEMP folder from exception list. Thanks.
I experience a similar issue with AVG Internet Security. I'm developing with Go (golang) using JetBrains GoLand IDE for development and debugging.
Each time I compile or run my code it produces a file like C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\go-build505150110\b001\exe\main.exe which results in a IDP.Generic.d71faa9030f7.3.2 threat.
Note: depending on the project any part behind C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\go-build might change. If the problem cannot get resolved with a simple solution like support of wildcards I'll have to leave AVG in favor of another product.
I've been using Norman Antivirus solutions (now replaced by AVG) for more than 10 years. The strange thing is that the problem is new. I havent used Windows for development for a while, but the problem definitely did not exist a few months ago. Maybe older releases of Go/GoLand didn't work the same way. My setup has also changed slightly (moved source files from a directory on drive D: to the users directory).
I'm a developer and use Visual Studio to build applications. One of the final steps in the build process is the ability to run a customized script, which Visual Studio creates and runs from the user's TEMP folder, for example
C:\USERS\JIM\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\TMPBA326AEEF5744867B52E908246FC858F.EXEC.CMD
The characters after the 'TMP' portion of the filename are always different.
Every time Visual Studio creates and runs the script, I get a threat alert from AVG.
I want to make an exception for the scripts, but obviously not for the entire TEMP folder.
Is there a way to add an exception using a wildcard, such as
C:\USERS\JIM\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\TMP*.EXEC.CMD
If so, please explain how to accomplish this. I'm runing AVD Internet Security, v 2015.0.6081
That's great, Peter.
We appreciate your efforts. Thank you for sharing this suggestion with us.
Regarding my issue I found a solution. Go (Golang) allows to set the environment variable GOTMPDIR to specify where Go (Golang) will place its temporary files. If GOTMPDIR is not set the directories in the users AppDir\Local\Temp will be used.
Now I've set GOTMPDIR and can use this path in the exception list. That works fine for me. Thank you.
