Avast Security Warning
Palworld has been getting shown as some virus by Avast, if you use Avast and cant get into Palworld make sure you check that Avast doesn't Quarantine it by making an exception with the game.

Had an issue where i couldn't play the game cause it mistook it as a Virus, even as far as re-installing didn't work until I did a pc restart to finally have Avast tell me it blocked the game itself.

Some details It said:
File: Palworld-Win64-Shipping.exe
Threat name: IDP.Generic

Sounds like a false positive to me. Running bitdefender, btw.

Avast was alrady a dumb malware on day one release. How can you justifie to use it in 2024?

Honestly, Windows Defender is good for most people. Its built into Windows and actually does work very well.

This 100%

The average computer user has no need for dedicated antivirus software anymore.

Seriously, get rid of Avast and use Windows Defender instead. It works better than any 3rd party antivirus because it was designed by Microsoft to work directly with Windows, it also probably uses less system resources AND costs zero dollars.

Do some searches online and you'll see that Windows Defender is enough for 95% of people these days.

Some people put into a position they are forced to use 3rd party av even if it is dumb like a corporate/school policy or live with parents who still think windows still run like win7. I heard good things about bit defender but I'd just tell them to install malwarebytes and deactivate the trial then lie and say it is 3rd party only use it as a scanner lol.

Err for those who suggest disabling anti-virus, I agree it's great experience as I'm using windows defender too, but I cannot agree with the logic.

Think bigger. There can be 10 other games. There are over 10 anti-virus companies. In Game A we might disable anti virus A. In game B surely anti-virus B or C might show a false positive as well. If everyone were taught to disable, then sooner or later all top 10 anti-virus will be disabled. Windows defender will then demonstrate it's weakness.

Just keep the anti-virus you like and add a game to whitelist if there is false positive. That way end users stand strong together with all kinds of different shields. When a bad program is blocked by another anti-virus you never use, the hacker will stop publishing it, and it indirectly helps you too. But if we were to tell others our shield is better and they should remove their shield - we will only make hackers happy.
