Arkhorse Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Uninstall avast. Last i heard, that anti virus is just bloatware. You can use Iobit malware fighter instead. Its better anyways. Quote
Ress Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I agree, uninstall Avast (bloatware), if you know how to use PC safely u don't need AV in general, its only waste of space and performance. My OS is 3 years old (need to do clean reinstall soon) no AV, windows defender off, firewall off. Only protection is Malwarebytes pro. My OS runs fine (aside from general "age" slowdowns). But if you do need AV for some reason, try Bitdefender. 1 Quote
Smoq Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Well ... I'm using Avast free for years now and NEVER have i encountered any issues with instaling Aslain's Modpack. mayb its some other thing ? Administrators permissions needed ? or mayb' windows firewall is up and blocks it ? Try running Aslain's as administrator and if it pops its a dangerous file mark "still run it i trust it" thingy :D should be fine. Quote
[email protected] Posted August 3, 2018 Author Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) I totally uninstalled ALL of Avast disabled everything else I have including defender av and firewall and still, I can only get XVM. VERY strange because I really thought that after I re-installed aslains after disabling and uninstalling other potentially blocking features, that it would work. It does not. what is really weird is that in the lower right side in garage where battle stats are kept, it states that aslains is up to date. I didn't think it was my AV either same story with me (had it forever, never a prob before) but, I had to try otherwise why ask for help? right? Any other suggestions?

Egg Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) When I had Bitdefender installed it was a bit like that - very nanny-like with Aslain's modpack as well as modpacks I run on other games. Realised that after 35+ years of being tech savvy I could run on minimal AV input so Bitdefender (and any other system embedded AV programs) got the heave-ho and I don't get nagged. Long story short: chuck Aslain a contribution for his time, bypass the file storage site links entirely, click the "direct" download link, and you get a clean download, no nasties. Quick edit - if your username on here is your actual email address, I'd contact one of the admin to get that changed to something else pretty soon mate..... Edited August 3, 2018 by Egg Quote
[email protected] Posted August 5, 2018 Author Posted August 5, 2018 Thanks fior the advice, however, there is no option to change names. I have still NOT been able to get Aslains functioning at all. Bummer/. Quote
