Post title: Restore wordfast.dot from the chest, or download a fresh copy
Yes, indeed, it is not necessary to download and install a fresh copy of Wordfast Classic after you add wordfast.dot in exclusions in Avast, as I mentioned above. You are right that you can go to Scan in Avast, click Quarantine /Virus Chest at the bottom of the window, and right-click and restore your original wordfast.dot file.
Still, if you want to download a fresh copy of Classic, you can do so. But you can find it difficult, due to Avast again. It may block the download (the resulting file appears corrupted after download). To fix this, go to Settings in Avast, click Active Protection on the left-hand side. Click the cogwheel icon (symbolizing settings) on the Web Shield line. Click Exclusions on the left-hand side. Now, enter the following in the field for URLs to exclude:
[url removed] *
Click OK to close all Avast windows you have opened. That's it. You should now be able to successfully download Wordfast Classic from wordfast.net.
