NFS shift and other EA Games

I have pre-installed EA Games app on my XP, and NFS shift installed through it separately. Now after JB update, my Avast antivirus has been blocking the games with the message - Potentially unwanted file. It has only three options: Uninstall, Info and Allow for 15 minutes.

Is anyone else facing the issue? Is this due to JB or is it Avast problem?

To be honest, I suggest you take this up with Avast, as this seems to be related to there application and the file formats the game may be running.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

If that happen to me, I will Allow it and uninstall Avast Antivirus.. Get different antivirus other than Avast..

Thanks Jake. I saw that there is an option in Avast where you can ask the app to bypass all Potentially unwanted apps. I have checked that, and now it's fine. I just need to get rid of the message that the antivirus is still flashing on its homepage.
