Help w/ internet security
So whenever I extract something from this site, I always turn off my internet security. However, no matter how long I wait, when I turn it back on... I always deletes the files as "threats"...
How can I prevent this from happening?
How can I prevent this from happening?
One of two things-
A. Mark the files as clean. Most AV's have options to ignore certain files
or
B. Leave Your AV off all the time.(Not recommended)
You could also try putting them in a PassWord protected folder? Maybe ur AV wont scan there.
Also wrong section(i think

)you need to do 1 of 2 things.. possibly both of them
first you need to Google, how to add files / folders to your anti-virus's exceptions list.. that'll stop your AV from scanning a specific folder you can store shit in
second you need to get a flash drive / thumb drive / portable storage device.. get about a 1 gig portable storage device and you can save the files to that and simply plug it into your computer when you need to use them, take it out of your computer when your done
personally i stick with the second one because the first one is never guaranteed to work.

IMO get a better AV. Like Avast, it doesn't delete false positives, just tells you theyre there.

Check your quarentine.
If your file is there, restore it and add it to the exclusion list.
(when scanning, anti-virus skips the file)
Tell me what anti-virus you have so i can help you better.

You can Set the selected file you wanted an exception. So AV would not scan the file, but for me, i hardly use my AV, i download and scan it, before using. My AV's always off.

Um Ask u what to do when it finds a virus but if u say ignore it,it will comeback up in 3 seconds, just add it to the exceptions list.

Maybe someone should write a guide. Idk if it'd be relevant to this forum though.
