Game won't Launch with iolo System Mechanic
I recently bought the game, installed it, and then when I ran it for the first time, immediately after DirectX was installed, it gave me an error saying "Failed to start Game (missing executable). I followed the tips steam gave me and restarted my computer, but with no success. This time however, an iolo alert appeared in the bottom right corner of my screen saying that it found what it thought to be an infected file (as far as I know it was the executable file for the game, it won't pop up anymore). I opened up iolo and toyed around with the settings but couldn't find any settings to change that would help this.

Anyway I hope somebody knows how to fix this, because other than this iolo is a great program that I don't want to delete. Thanks for any feedback

UPDATE: The alert just came back, I'm not sure how to screen shot it but I will just post the information below

I know this is quite literally 3 years late, but did you ever find a way to get around it? I'm running into the same problem right now.

I did, you have to go into the system iolo and look for quarantined threats and tell it not to search in the castle crashers folder. It was something along those lines, sorry its been so long i barely remember
