[WT-support] Win-Test problems caused by "Avast"

[w8zn at comcast.net]

Hi Larry,

Last year you and I traded emails about a problem where Wintest (4.6.0 at the time)does not allow bands above 2304 when used with my Elecraft K3. When a band is selected it switches but then goes back. You provided a link to me for a beta version that worked but after installing 4.8.0 I still have the same issues. Will this fix be incorporated in a future release? 

Thanks and 73!!!

Why don't you add wt to the Avast files exceptions list ? If you're sure 
wt hasn't been infected since its installation, it's the easier way.
