My avast is blocking minecraft every time I try to open it, I uninstalled/reinstalled Minecraft and Java and it keeps blocking. I screen shot the message that occurs here ( https://gyazo.com/006bf98cb7a9d5a75e9d04cf05ab472d ) I had seen some older solutions of adding java as an exception, but it does not seem to help.
You can report a suspected FP here: https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php
Is there anyway to get around it though? I kind of want to play games… I added the minecraft line to the exception too, still nothing >.<
Yeah I did that :-\ added exceptions C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\MinecraftLauncher.exe but it still pops up showing the error with the second one.
Sorry, I’m no gamer. Either report it or wait for other helpers input.
you need an exception added in the web shield rather than the file system shield
i used http://launcher.mojang.com/mc/launcher/win/*
hope this helps
