alexdafishguy Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 recently my technic launcher hasnt been working, and i found out it was due to norton(maybe, this is the first time its ever not worked), can someone help me let techniclauncher through? i am running windows, have the latest java, and its 64 bit.
Moderators Munaus Posted March 16, 2013 Moderators Posted March 16, 2013 Uninstall Norton, install avast which doesn't screw with the launcher. Also, this is not the section for Launcher problems. THIS one is
alexdafishguy Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 this isnt really a launcher problem, this is to do with my antivirus.
Adlersch Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 It is a problem blocking the launcher itself, yes? Then it is a launcher problem on these forums. In any case, Munaus has some solid advice. Norton is a bad antivirus, and some viruses are built specifically to exist within Norton. Avast is free, doesn't give (That I've seen) false positives like the Technic Launcher, and isn't so widely used that people are targeting Avast.
alexdafishguy Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 ah, in that case i will report this thread to have it moved. thanks, but id really rather not download a new one(renewed norton less than a month ago)
Torezu Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Meh, just start a new thread with a bug report, or ask the same question in either the Launcher Discussion section (since this isn't really a bug), or you could go look up how to add exceptions for Norton on their site. That might actually be easier.
