My game keeps getting deleted after downloading it. Help please.

Hey y'all, I just bought a game and it keeps removing itself as soon as I try to open it up.  I already tried to see if it was Chrome preventing it from opening, but that isn't doing anything.  Is anyone else dealing with this and how do you fix it?

This is probably from your antivirus. Double-check its settings. :)

I can't figure out what settings would stop it from doing that though :/ I have AVG Anti virus

We can't help with that, sorry, unless someone else in the community happens to use it. Check its documentation, or else ask tech support.

Hello, 

You may try Exceptions.

Another subject is whitelisting, but exceptions should be enough for a final user.

Hope this helps.

A very long time ago, I used AVG as well. I think there was a setting for it to treat games as unwanted files (under the list of things to block). While it sounds unlikely that it would have enabled itself, having AVG change settings on its own was part of the reason that I parted ways with it.
