Knytt Stories editor troubles

Hiya,

Since a fair while I've been using Avira as my virus scanner. For some reason, however, Avira doesn't want me to open the editor. Knytt Stories itself works just fine, though. I've tried to let Avira ignore the problem, but the warning message keeps popping up. I really have no clue how to fix this, so I was wondering if any of you knew.

Unfortunately I don't know if it's possible to permanently whitelist the editor: as far as I can tell, the way Avira manages file exceptions makes it hard to manage this situation, where the editor creates the stdrt.exe file inside a temporary directory with a randomly generated name (the same happens with Knytt Stories, but I guess the anti-malware heuristics used only dislike the editor).

If Avira allows wildcards in its exception list, you could make it ignore any stdrt.exe file inside a temporary folder whose name starts with 'mrt'; it could still be a security risk, but it's better than telling it to ignore all stdrt.exe files (I believe some exploits using that name exist).

It might be a good idea to switch to a different virusscanner. I'm very fond of Microsoft Security Essentials.

You can also use it unpacked...
