so I'm rather new to itch.io but I'm confused, when ever I download a game, it download, finishes, then when I open the file, it just poofs out the air, or says I do not have access to the file, this only happens on the browser version when I try to download through clicking download, then click one of the pc ones, after it down loads I click open file, and then it just deletes its self, I can't play any games if it does this, I've tried this on 5 different games and they all do this. am I downloading wrong?

Sounds like an overactive antivirus doing it. Happens all the time.

Might be the settings, might be the product. I think Kaspersky is still particularly aggressive - which can be a very good thing depending what you tend to do with your machine.

I’ve had no issues with Avira’s product when it comes to games in the past. Although: They like to force updates, ignoring your settings. Nothing that would require an immediate restart, but if you want your system to run at peak efficiency all the time, you would have to update at least every 2 days.
