bubs79 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 ive been running windows defender for about a week , I took off avira antivirus. everything been fine with aslains modpack but today aslains installer been acting up . 1st thing I noticed I double clicked aslains modpack on my desktop , it hung up and didn't open , then noticed laptop got laggy , so opened up task manager , and noticed that antimalware service executable is hogging the cpu . I did a bit of research on this and have found out that its windows defender . the reason this hogs the cpu is that windows defender suspects aslains modpack installer as malware/virus , so windows defender starts a maintenance scan to make sure nothing has infected the pc/laptop . I disabled windows defender then clicked on aslains installer on the desktop and it opened up straight away , with no problems. now I deleted this shortcut from the desk top . turned on windows defender . now I went to the downloads folder where all aslains installers r saved . now the laptop is getting laggy again and I click one of the installers shortcuts and boom antimalware service starts up again and hogs the cpu again. now the solution for me now is never use windows defender again, disable it and install your own malware program and antivirus just very strange behaviour from windows defender which is causing a lot of problems with aslains installer Quote Link to comment
Casstiel Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 deinstall win defender and download and install 360 Total Security...I have no problem with it...and you can put it in silent mode or disable protection for a while you install xvm and the most important thing no laggy or loss of speed....

bubs79 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 ive never used windows defender before , I was just checking if I got same problems as everyone else that uses windows defender . problem with win 8 and 10 they have built in maintenance which runs automatically . windows defender starts that maintenance if it suspects a file or .exe. ill be going back to my avira now lol never had a problem with avira or Malwarebytes Quote Link to comment

Thats what I did. I'm using 360 TS, it still sometimes can lock my installer, but very rarely in general. Windows Defender caused too many issues on my W10, including problems with updating already added to exceptions WoWs and WoT. 1 Quote Link to comment
exarish Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) The problem is both smartscreen and defender. When you download the pack, right click and go to properties, click the 'unblock' box then go to compatibility and tick the 'run as administrator' box. This bypasses the issue, also getting rid of defender does this too as it's rubbish....but still unblock and run as admin or smartscreen will block it occasionally.

bubs79 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I don't mind the smartscreendoing wat it does as it doesn't affect the performance of the laptop or initiate scans for no reason Quote Link to comment
hidetada Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 i use comodo internet security... never had a problem with it with regards to modpack... the thing is... whatever av, firewall or aio you are using as long as you know what it does... how you use it... how you configure it... you can never go wrong... be it free or paid apps... ^^ Quote Link to comment
