turn off windows defender, then go into it and go into virus settings and add the program as an exception add your game as an exception so that windows defender ignores it. I have to do that with some games otherwise windows defender thinks the game is a virus and deletes it.

I've heard that apparently the newer versions of malware bites now have automatic protection type thingies, a bit like antiviruses do. This is actually a shame because I'd rather have a program that lets me manually scan. Yes, it may put me more at risk but I'd rather control what I run without being at the wims of some sort of database.

@Aaron, wow. Thanks man, it was Malibites. lol I added it as an exception in the protecter section, and it works now. Thanks so much.
@post 5, I do use C Cleaner, is awesome.

Hey staindaddict,
Just curious, do you have a full version of Malware Bytes? Afaik it will only do realtime scanning if you do, the free version cannot do this and so can only address threats if you manually scan and it finds them. They may have changed this, however. Personally, I use Malware Bytes when I think I'm infected, and have given up on Defender. I don't need anything in realtime for regular use, I haven't been infected in ages and I always found virus scans to be nerve-racking and not good for productivity. In the end common sense seems a better option than something constantly running in the background. I'd say only use something that runs in realtime if you feel you will soon be getting into trouble, like if visiting a strange web site or trying to work with someone else's files who may be infected.

As for programs I use for protection. In addition to Malware Bytes, I also use JrT (junkware removal tool). Which if memory serves and if nothing has changed, is a command line program written by the Malware Bytes team. You just run it and it does its thing. It closes a lot of programs in the process though, but it does try to clean your system. It isn't an antivirus, it just removes a lot of adware and spyware. AdwCleaner is another one to check out, though I think that was also taken over by Malware Bytes, and for me is a little harder to use than it once was. I'm not sure how much it's changed since I last used it regularly which was years ago. But you can give those two a shot as well if you think you're infected. Malware Bytes is definitely the big gun though, so I'd try that first before the others.

I have seen Avg do this, and at the moment my lady cannot play either crazy party or use the Alteraeon mushZ pack because of it.
I have been thinking of installing malware bites, but parts of their interface were always a bit wonky, and this slightly puts me off, even though I do know it's good at removing annoying stuff.
