Content Manager/AC completely f***ed by Bitdefender ???

[HTH]

Well, I'm in a rather complicated situation. I tried playing YouTube while driving through the dashboard of the car, just for being able to listen to music, and the game completely stopped instantly. I discover 5 minutes later that my antivirus is blocking all access to CM, considering that the YouTube thing was a threat to the computer and that it was a malware. It blocked more than 40 files, apps...

I still have all my AC files (cars, tracks, skins...) CM knows where the content folder is, but there's a red symbol everytime and I can't charge it.

Maybe the antivirus just destroyed some key files so CM. won't charge it?

Also, since this incident, my steering wheel (Thrustmaster T248) is automatically setting as if I was driving a car in the game whenever it's plugged to my computer.

My antivirus is Bitdefender Total Security.

Does anyone encountered this problem before?

[HTH]

OK, I checked game files integrity via steam and I had over 400 files that were corrupt or something. My CM works as before now. Looks like it was a massacre from either my antivirus or just me lol. I will make a drive once I'll get back home to make sure everything's fine.

Whenever AV makes stuff go boom, always start getting it back from AV side, most of them offer ability to revert changes and whitelist whatever caused the problem.

Now that you started to pick at things, it might get messier, so stop it right there. Note everything you've done, then try reverting in AV, and check later for things you messed with.

If AV does not offer easy reverting of stuff, bin it and get something else. Tbh just dont get AV, its mostly a scam anyways, only useful for elderly or children that can click through clear red flags. And even then windows/browser security is often strong enough to defend the PC anyways.



Also if you start fixing your drivers and stuff, always start with uninstalling first. If things are broken and you "reinstall" drivers it can sometimes get even more broken.

Ah speaking of, you might have a system restoration point from before the AV acted. It might revert some other changes to the PC you made after the restoration point so think first act later, but it should get the driver situation under control.


ps: i say AVs are scam, thats not entirely true, the common commercial ones are, the corporate AVs are good but its not as easy both on setting it all up and using side, you cant even get one if you dont own a company :P.

pps: ofc i dont read the last message haha, glad you sorted it out! Gonna leave this for posterity anyways :)
