Thanks! Added to the whitelist, changes will be visible after the next auto update.

@notracking Please take TotalAV OFF the whitelist and put it onto the blacklist. It is NOT a false positive. Google for "TotalAV Scam" and you find from various discussion forums that even though it is actual antivirus software (using Avira engine), they are notorious for using scams to get people to buy it through affiliates and keep charging far more than the agreed price.

Evidence? This company is very shady. i.e. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/42047d9bd1c0a9ffda3b38dc9e7e95d809a5b7f4b345dce42088d0ada486f6fb/community https://www.mywot.com/scorecard/totalav.com https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/pup-optional-totalav/ https://safeweb.norton.com/reviews?url=totalav.com

Moved it to the blocklist again, thanks for the sources. Obvious scam company.
