Notepad++ could look into the issue too and make it immune from Avast.

Please let us know what exactly you think Notepad++ could do in this regard.

@Alan-Kilborn,
Notepad++ could contact Avast (www.avast.com/contacts), explain the issue and ask them to fix it that would benefit Notepad++ as well. Avast may be not aware of the issue and, once aware, they would gladly fix it and, maybe, with no effort and happy to do so, as I investigated it.

Notepad++ developer time is best spent on value-added tasks, IMO.
On the other hand, you could expend the time to do that contacting of Avast.

@Alan-Kilborn,
Since when making Notepad++ resistant to file saving failures does not add value to it? Since when making products less prone to failure by any legal means possible is not adding value to them? Since when an employee who does one thing cannot do another, easier one? Is it beneath the dignity of a software developer?

Do you subscribe to the famous line from “Oliver Twist”: “Please, sir, I want some more”? We do not live in the 1830s of Charles Dickens anymore. I found a solution and generously shared it with all. Do you want more charity from me? Didn’t I do enough already?

Good luck with starting thinking, like businessmen aiming at perfecting their products, esp. by easy contacting someone to contribute to that in his own interest and not doing it by themselves. Too much?
