And then the protection would be useless. They can't prevent avast from blocking the launcher, because if they could do it, a ransomware could do the same. This would involve thousands of test machines(or more) and still only cover a small fraction of the systems that their users have.Īnd I don't think that there is anything that paradox could even do besides discovering that there is a problem. Do you expect them to test their software with all existing antivirus software? Even the most common software numbers a few hundred if you take into account all their versions (and if you don't, you will still have users with problems) and you have to multiply that with all supported subversions of windows and the drivers(because they all interact with each other). I don't understand what you expect paradox to do here. Click to expand.It is a third party, because it is neither built into windows nor developed by Paradox nor developed by you.
