Then get another antivirus, adding scan exceptions should be completely trivial in the interface.

Did CCP provide us with some information about why we should think its a false positive yet?

Are you saying that CCP is trying to infect our PCs with viruses? That’s completely ludicrous.

Start by reading the posts further up in this thread that already answers your question.

@Laubrani I already did read them, that’s why it seems to me that you’re trying to say that CCP want to infect our PCs with viruses, which is ludicrous.

Edit: Did you ever get that little problem fixed by the way?

I have given examples on current infestations with tracking services as well as examples on when trying to protect ourselves against 3rd party trackers, CCP would not even let us enter the game.

I can’t say it any more clear than I already did above.

Well, don’t mess with the game’s files and codes and you’ll be able to enter the game.

Nothing written here is about messing with game files or code. You will have to learn English and expect everything else you say to me to always be treated as trolling.
