Here is a copy of section 5.2.5 of the AntiVir manual:
5.2.5 Configuring exceptions from on-access scan
To specify which processes and file objects of the AntiVir Guard are to be omitted from the scan:
1. Select the Guard tab in the Control Center.
2. Click the Configuration link.
3. The Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic Configuration dialog box is displayed. You are presented with the Guard / Scan tab.
4. Activate the Expert mode option.
5. Additional tabs and options are displayed.
6. Select the Exceptions tab.
To add a process to be omitted:
7. Enter the name of the process in the input field of the Processes to be omitted for the Guard section.
You can specify up to 12 processes. The exact names of the processes are found in the Windows Task Manager. Windows Explorer and the operating system cannot be omitted from the on-access scan. A corresponding entry will be ignored. Only the first 16 characters of the process name (inclusive file extension) are considered. If there exist 2 processes whose names match the first 16 characters, Guard excludes both processes from the monitoring.
Example for process name: sro_client.exe
8. Click Add.
9. The name of the process is listed in the display window.
To add a file or directory to be omitted:
10. Enter the name of the file object in the input field of the File objects to be omitted for the Guard section.
All entries together must not exceed 6,000 characters.
Wildcards (* and ?) are only allowed in file names. Directory names must be concluded with "\". File names may not be concluded with "\".
Example for file name: c:\program files\silkroad\sro_client.exe
Example for directory name: c:\program files\silkroad\
11. Click Add.
12. Select the file object or process in the appropriate display window.
If you want to include a file object or a process in the on-access scan again:
13. Select the file object or process in the appropriate display window.
14. Click Delete.
15. The name of the file object or process is removed from the display window.
My Advice ... Add both the process (sro_client.exe) in the process window AND the file (C:\program files\silkroad\sro_client.exe) in the file window.
Hope this helps,
