Demo Trojan

[Connor Lol]

I've looked at this game and I thought it was pretty cool. But when I downloaded the demo my antivirus warned me that it was a trojan and then the demo wouldn't launch. I tried to allow it through the firewall but it still wouldn't launch. I disabled my antivirus but it STILL wouldn't launch. Please help me be able to start the demo, I would love to try this game.

What anti malware/virus software do you use?

[Connor Lol]

Norton internet security

[Sir Penguin the Brave]

That may be your problem. Have you tried disabling it altogether?

[Connor Lol]

Yes I have tried disabling it. I also validated the game files just in case but then it still wouldnt launch.

[Sir Penguin the Brave]

Is it definitely a problem with norton? Does it come up saying it was blocked or what actually happens?

[Connor Lol]

Sometimes it says that Norton has blocked a trojan and then it wont launch.

Did you pay for Norton by any chance? My suggestion to you is to remove it, in all honesty.

Norton is not very good at its job, it tends to sit there looking good and tell you you're protected when it's probably got the potential to let actual malware into your system, and block the stupid stuff such as the SpeedRunners demo, haha.

What I'd recommend to you is to remove Norton and install Malwarebytes. It's free, and does a bloody good job of protecting your computer from malware. Plus, you are able to run Windows Defender alongside it, unlike a lot of anti virus/malware programs which just block it from running.

I know you're probably not keen on doing this if you had paid for norton, but either way if you decide to try this or not then get back to me to let me know if this was the problem or not :)

Ok, thank you so much for helping me! You have helped me a ton for making the SpeedRunners Demo to work! I'll try Malwarebytes with Norton(Unless Norton blocks it and see if the demo works again. If Norton blocks SpeedRunners or Malwarebytes I'll uninstall it temorarly and see if it works. Thank you so much again for helping me with this problem.

It's alright, hope you can get it to work
