Avast is known to do this. Just go to quarantine and restore and make an exception. I will work fine after that.

Who needs Avast when you have windows defender.

I still don't understand why people pay for an antivirus that will become the virus once you stop paying for it.

Because for the simple reason. Windows defender is not as good. That is shown by the fact that it will pick up game files it thinks are viruses. This is not about AV this is about helping the OP fix their game. Take you AV questions to another forum.

Picking up false positives doesn't make your software better, it makes it objectively worse. I have no idea how you came up with that argument and thought it makes sense.

Anyway, the fix is to get rid of crappy AV software and get something that is actually competent. Or if you don't want to pay just stick with the default windows option, which is definitely good enough for a common user that isn't a complete dimwit when it comes to internet security.

Unless you're a company that needs an additional layer of protection because they could become a target, or an old grandma that doesn't know the first thing about security and would gladly run a random .exe file that was sent to her by an Arabian prince, or you're doing some questionable/high risk things, you seriously don't need dedicated AV software.

Besides, the leading cause of people getting "hacked" these days are not viruses anyway. It's social engineering, and that's not something AV software can protect you against. Just look at all those companies constantly getting breached, they all use top of the line software for protection and yet it's useless against a simple email asking Susan from accounting for some personal information.

The game doesnt need fix. The "antivirus" does. Thus its about avast, not about the game. Antivirus is outdated piece of software, its obsolote for over decade and so, windows defender became more than enough for personal use. What you need today is usualy anti malware and browser threat scanner.

deinstall avast that ♥♥♥♥ is useless anyway use malwarebytes instead or just stay with the windows defender

So you want to tell me that Windows defender is not as good because it doesn't have a clear false positive like Avast has? Wired metric, but ok.

Bit defender isn't that good either as there's no false positive either

Avast is well known to have problems (in general, not with satisfactory only)

Having no false positives is literally a good thing, what are you even talking about You really don't need backwards logic like this to prove Windows Defender isn't the best AV software out there (I don't see anybody claiming that anyway), but it doesn't change the fact it's still better than Avast in most circumstances the last time I checked, or that it is enough for an average user.

Or was there some sarcasm that I didn't pick up on?

It's not a problem. It is just that sensitive. That is a good thing. Would rather get a false positive than it not pick stuff up.
