How to Whitelist a file?

I'm developing software using Flutter and Dart in VS code, Windows. F-secure is driving me around the bend. It blocks dart.exe because of :

 Drop.Win64.RoamingSelfRun.2750

It's NOT infected. I was installing flutter a week ago, and I spent a day faffing around with f-secure, trying to make it allow the Dart.exe. It said it was restoring it, hanged…. I spent hours at it. And it's done it again. I can't run flutter. The room has turned blue. I'm on the verge of cancelling f-secure. Is there a way to allow a file preemptively, now that I know where the file is.

Another 4 hours lost😡

    I spoke too early. I allow the dart.exe from quarantine and blocked, and then when I use it "Harmful file blocked".

    The heuristics detections can sometimes be annoying for software developers since each time you compile a new executable it's considered different from the one previously handled.

    I recommend that you open main user interface > Device protection > Manage scanning exclusions and add entire development folder to exclusion (exclusion is recursive).

    It would also be beneficial to submit the false detection to us via https://www.f-secure.com/en/support/submit-a-sample so that we can fix it.
