Suggestions on antivirus spam

Post#1 » Wed May 06, 2026 10:34 pm

Hey everyone, I'm trying to enter the game but my antivirus (Bitdefender) won't just let me be.
It is continously marking different files in the WoW directory, or the Octo launcher as potential malwares.
Should I simply give up? Or deactivate the antivirus completely? And has anyone else experienced the same issues/found different solutions?

DLLs always cause false positives

Anyways, if u dont believe me - OctoWow, just wait till they open source the launcher

I understand and I just wanted to ask for technical help, since I have no idea on how to treat false positives.

thank you!
