Disable Avast Antivirus for a folder

Under Windows I use Avast and very often it finds EXEs compiled with Nim suspicious. When I launch an EXE, Avast is scanning it for 20-30 seconds.

A possible solution is to tell Avast to ignore a folder. Here is how to do it:

Menu → Settings → Exceptions. Here "Add exception", select "File/folder" and add the path of a folder.

For instance, I added the folder c:\Users\<username>\.nimble\bin as an exception.
