I've never used avast, so I don't know what the problem is.
If you can register the program as an exception, try it.

Fine, but exception didn't helped. Can you at least test it on Virtual Machine or Windows Sandbox? (I'm using Avast Premium security, but I think, that this feature is also in Avast Free version).

The problem is that you should contact Avast. and VM probably does not support.
