temporary disable of avast for LOL???
« on: May 19, 2016, 09:23:48 PM »
Ok so this is like the 10th time this dumb thing thinks LOL is a virus for whatever reason. I accidentally deleted the tag in the chest instead of restoring so now I can't restore my ability to play. Is there a way to find the file and allow it again, or should I just completely remove the antivirus and find a different one that allows my game? It is one of the most played games online ever, figured there wouldn't be a continual problem. Thank you.

Simply download and install LOL again and create a global exclusion for it in avast.
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that if the developers of LOL would digitally sign their file(s) it already would make a (huge?) difference.

I don't really want to redownload it because it takes a couple hours. Could I change it's scope any way?

Hi, there was a problem with the digital signature and it generated a false positive. It's all fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
