Exclusions not working anymore in ESET latest version

[HGStyle 0]

Hello,

I just realised not long ago that ESET no longer cares of the exceptions, or even of what protections are on.

Example: I downloaded Optimizer from https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer (official website/repo) and ESET deleted it. No problem. But if I add an exception for it, it still is deleted. So I turn off the live protection, and it still deletes the file. Even after turning off every protection I could find in ESET's interface, it still deletes the EXE of the software.

This happens not only with this software which didn't asked anything, but also with development software like MITMProxy (https://mitmproxy.org/) but I understand this kind of app is detected, but ESET will ever try to delete the main EXE of the software, even with every detection turned off.

Worst part of all: being a developper, I make some little software, or atleast scripts. And Windows builds I do of my software gets deleted too!

Any idea of what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

Eset sees something suspicious in the .exe download and won't allow it. Based on the below detection, I don't see how an exception could be created. Looks like it is signature related to the Github website itself;
