1. Restore the Neverwinter file from Avast Virus Chest, it is being flagged as a false positive.
2. Disable Avast for 10 minutes and run Launcher.
3. (Optional) Re-enable Avast shields once Launcher is up, or you can wait the 10min for the shields to return on their own.


PWE/Cryptic need to contact Avast as the client files have apparently been flagged in the Avast FileRep cloud service. The cloud service, the thing behind the false positive, is what needs to be cleaned.

    .exe unavailable (avast blocks it) Gotta add web address exclusion, lol.

    And how do we know that the spammers aren't just setting up a Neverwinter virus and this is going to bypass AV for its deployment? Although they already load (or try to load) you with viruses when you go to their websites anyway.


    Either way, they need to do verified security/publishing etc for these exes. This exe doen't even have verification.
