My PC automatically deletes important torrent files

[Gila_Stomper]

Options ==>> Advanced settings... ==>> Exceptions ==>> Add exception ==>> Exception type ==>> Folder

Browse to your downloads folder. Select it and hit OK.

when i go to folder it goes straight to my Cdrive (hard drive).
scrap that found a way testing now.

Fuck okay AVG is not the problem so we got Malwarebytes and as far as that goes all it does is act as my trojan killer and windows defender is it something else?

sorry the file got deleted again something i doing it AVG probably isn't the culprit

Check AVG Virus Vault to see if AVG is the culprit : Options ==>> Virus Vault

If it's not. Check Malwarebytes Quarintine: Malwarebytes ==>> Quarintine

Running 2 A/V instances is never a good idea. Either disable AVG or disable Windows Defender.

Ill get back to this tomorrow as ive go to sleep but you've been very helpful so far THX!

I've had problems with AVG not recognizing exceptions when you select an entire folder. But it works fine if you select file and choose the individual file that is being quarantined.

If you try that and it still doesn't help, it probably isn't AVG causing the problem.

Thanks for the help i fixed it avg was my problem child however keygens are picked up as viruses on my PC and it's from a pink skull user on TPB can someone elaborate and if it's a false positive?

Most if not all key-gens are picked up as viruses/malware etc by A/V software because of their use of heuristics ("If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Then it must be a duck").
Getting pink skulled shows that the uploader is trusted by TPB so i wouldn't worry about what your A/V is telling you. And to answer your original question. Yes, it's more than likely a false positive.

Thanks for helping me with my problem people. It was clean but im keeping AVG as it stops alot of threats form the worldwideweb. PS i know how the skull and x bones system works out.
