If BKAV is notifyinging you about a program you know is malware-free, this page provides instructions on how to correct a false notification in BKAV antivirus.

How to Set Whitelist a File or Program in Bkav Anti Virus

Unfortunately there is very little support or information at all about Bkav antivirus. This is not a good sign and Bkav would not be an antivirus program I would personally use or trust for this reason. In addition the Bkav website itselft is not even secure with a http and not https protocol! Bkav is located in Singapore and there seems to be a little more support in their language.

So we went ahead and installed Bkav anti-virus on one of our PC's to try to find and answer as to how to whitelist or OK a program or file in Bkav.

  1. Open the Bkav antivirus user interface by double clicking on the Bkav icon in the computer system tray.
  2. Click on the Anti Fake AV icon. This will cause a small dialog box to appear as shown in picture #2 below.
  3. Click on the link with the text Option.
  4. Click on the orange Add button. This will cause a file open/selection dialog box to appear.
  5. Navigate to the file or program you wish to whitelist in Bkav antivirus and double click on the file/program to add it to the Bkav exceptions/whitelist.
  6. Check the option button with the text Fully permit the program to execute.
  7. Click the orange OK button. Bkav will now leave this file or program alone and allow it to run normally without interference.
