Hi, I've been trying to get my AVG free edition to play nice with crysis 2 but it keeps marking the exe. as a virus and I have run out of ideas on my side. So far I've tried allowing a special rule in the firewall, redownloading it with the disc, and downloading it from the ea updater tool to no effect. If theres an answer on fixing this I would like to see it.

Thanks

i am having the same problem. Someone please help!!!

As far as i know most anti virus scanners have a way to turn off protection.

i had the same issue the only way i was able to play was to remove AVG. it has done it to several games for me and this was the last straw.....

So I take it you mean turn it off for this game specifically, and I would agree that the function should be there. Can't find it though.

Open AVG, at the top click Tools, click Advanced Settings. On the left side is a list, find PUP Exceptions. Now you need to click Add Exception and browse to the directory you installed crysis 2. There will be two files you have to add exceptions for...

Crysis2.exe and Crysis2Launcher.exe

Be sure to click Apply and then Ok when done. Now you should be able to run the program without issue.

Thanks a lot man that fixed it right up. To people who may need help on this follow the post above.

i have the same problem, but i just temporarily disable AVG, thats work for me.

the other way works perfect, thanks for the help

ok yeah.... that actually didn't work for me... rly pissing me off.. any other suggestions?
