AVG wont allow game to launch- SOLVED

[dd_delta7]

AVG blocks game starting:

 

App name C:|program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\il-2 Sturmovick cliffs of dover blitz\launcher64.exe

 

protected folder  c;\users\dave\documents

 

file path c:\users\dave\documents\ic softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\missions\multi\co-op\airfield attack a.jpg

 

detected by  ransomware protection

 

I renamed my c:\users\dave\documents\ic softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover that was there prior to launch

Solved by putting the 1C softclub folder in MyDocuments in my exceptions but still a bit worrying

I have AVG and game won't launch. I tried this and didn't work for me, additionally adding the game directory into exceptions too. I also never got a notification from AVG ransomware detection at any point either.

Some might disagree, but I recommend that you do not use AVG or any other antivirus software. Antivirus is becoming increasingly useless because it offers almost no protection and interferes with legitimate programs. 

 

Antivirus will not save you if you do dangerous things with your computer.

yes I disagree, all other programs including battle of stalingrad and il246 have no problems with AVG so no reason this should give threat warnings

It is important to turn off your Anti-Virus when installing the game from Steam... you should be able to turn it back on after installation.

 

You also may need to add an exception to the AV for the CoD-Blitz .exe.
