Thread: Windows Defender Preventing Install

  1. #1

    Default Windows Defender Preventing Install

    I am having trouble installing the mod on my PC. Specifically, Windows Defender refuses to allow the mod to run the setup.exe because it says that it is "Trojan: Win32/Rundas!plock" which I doubt to be true. I am unsure how to circumvent this issue and will appreciate any help. I should also mention that I am on Windows 10 and thus cannot disable Windows defender even momentarily.

    Thank you for trusting our download! Over time a lot of installations of this type (adding\replacing content) have been flagged by AV programs - which is understandable considering that's the way some malware\viruses enter the system.

    Here is what I found (I am using a third party AV):
    Check at the bottom half of this page how to disable defender in windows10 (it's the real time protection option in settings), I would suggest to disconnect from the net as well while installing. Don't forget to re-enable after the installation.

    Thanks for the response! I was able to get the setup.exe to run and will hopefully be able to enjoy the mod once back from school.
