Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted January 14, 2014 I am sure there are better qualified people to answer this but I think in most security software you can tell it to ignore a file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted January 14, 2014 SBE has an odd habit of periodically trying to connect to the Internet for "updates" -- perhaps this procedure is causing the virus blocker to react? I seem to recall that "call home" process (trying to connect to SB servers) is disabled by changing the executable file name to sbnt.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokeybearfan 87 Posted January 14, 2014 What anti virus are you running? Most can be set to exclude certain files and allow them to run even if it is reporting a false postive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrznFire07 217 Posted January 14, 2014 I'm just floating this, did you get your .exe file from a reputable source? Alot a of viruses these days are disguised as normal .exe files. You can also just turn off your anti-virus while your installing, nearly all anti-virus software will let you periodically turn it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokeybearfan 87 Posted January 15, 2014 Here is the instructions to exclude a file in AVG to exclude a file or folder from the Resident Shield detection: Open your AVG program. From the Options menu, select Advanced settings. In the left pane, select Exceptions. In the right pane, click Add exception. In the drop-down menu, select exception type - File or Folder. Browse to the file or folder that you want to exclude. Select whether you want to apply the exception also for other AVG components. Click OK to save details of the exception.
