Moderators Munaus Posted March 16, 2013 Moderators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexdafishguy Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 this isnt really a launcher problem, this is to do with my antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adlersch Posted March 16, 2013 Share 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.

Torezu Posted March 16, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
