My AVG thinks the laincher is a treat

[kangoeroe]

I can't run the launcher My avg thinks its a treat and now i can't unpack it. What the problem??

[kangoeroe]

And even now i can't start the game it says its not installed or can not be found.

[kangoeroe]

I got it to work now but i think that some av have trouble with the launcher or the game.

The launcher hasn't been updated in months... Are you running the normal or the portable version? When did you download it?

[kangoeroe]

Is now werking again. It was when i launched the game my avg poptup and it gave a false warning. I redownloaded the launcher via download latetst option. And restarted my PC and it worked again. If this is not readeble its because i types it with my phone at work.

Good to hear it's working again :)

Protip: ditch AVG. You'll only ever get false positives.

I have to say G DATA (internet security) works really good for me. I never had any trouble with it. I'm not advertising, it's just my experience.

Avast here. I used to use AVG (many years ago granted) and it was false positives left right and centre, including RCT2 itself.

Luckly i know a way to trick avg to think its not a cvirus/maleware/etc. But thanks for the help evry 1.

I switched to Avast a while back and found it handles false positives a lot better than AVG.It's still personal preferences but at the end of the day this definitely isn't a threat, at least so I'd like to think.Still be vigilant because I used to use things like puu.sh and stopped after one of the updates had malware hacked into it.

Yep me too, I too can recommend Avast. The free version can annoy you a lot with messages, but enabling the game/silent mode fixes that :D

The options you have are to either ignore the warning in your antivirus software or get a decent antivirus software (I'm not quite a fan of AVG).The launcher is safe (you can find the source code for it on Github).My antivirus of choice is Kaspersky (though it's not free).

I used Microsoft Security Essentials in win7, but in win10 it is built-in as Microsoft Defender. You can easily ignore false positives and I haven't got any false negatives yet in 4 years. I did have a false negative with McAfee once, that's why I changed to MSE (after formatting my hard drive ofcourse). Someone else also mentioned that windows defender and malwarebytes work well together, but the free microsoft defender doesn't show any leaks yet.
