Avast + XC_Launch

Post by UT Sniper (SJA94) »

It's not a big problem you can easily add an exception and restore the file but, for some reason Avast will randomly send XC_Launch to the virus vault, I can play for weeks at a time and not have it happen. This has happened two times in total see image below:

Just a heads up more than anything.

Avast is poop ...anyway, it's seams very odd.
Maybe white-listing XC_Launch might help.

Yeah that's what I did, thought I would make this topic just in case someone else notices XC_Launch.exe disappearing from time to time, I've had no notifications from Avast about them being moved. First time it happened I just thought I deleted it by mistake.

AVG was too much of a resource hog when I used it in the past, I just use windows defender nowadays, if I don't trust something I just won't download or view it.

Exactly. Antiviruses slow down computers too much, the windows defender works pretty well. Anyway, you can check files at virustotal.com, if they are not too big.

Deleted and banned the Spambot.

This :)
Those applications belong to the past.
And even if, they always don't shut down Defender.
It's about trackers and PUPs these days, a good ad blocker (ublock) and you are good to go.
