Is there a reason that Ransomware Protection(RP) stops me from doing almost anything in every game I own, and that it takes forever to add each individual game(20 seconds or so). Don't get me wrong, I'm glad AVG is putting stuff out to help with this particular IT plague.
I can't save screenshots, RP blocks them. I can't save any game that attempts to save to the documents folder, RP blocks that. RP even blocks saving to several other folders. I can't download some email attachments from work.
For reference, I've got bitlocker enabled, and I'm backing up the directories I actually save stuff to regularly. Documents and the User directory don't contain any important files on my machine. I use custom folders in strange places for that. Like multiple folders in a hard-linked nested loop where only the one with proper grammar actually goes somewhere after five clicks down the matryoshka doll rabbit hole.
I'm currently going through and adding programs to the exempt list, but doing them all one by one is exceptionally frustrating. Am I doing something wrong and wasting my time? Is there a faster and more efficient way to unfrag my computer besides turning this PoS off and leaving myself slightly less protected? Again, I love the idea, I'm hating the execution.
