Solved [Solution Given] Got "Mapstosteal" false positive and my antivirus is going nuts.

I've read enough about "mapstosteal" as it applies to Maplestory private servers to know it's a false positive, but Microsoft Security Essentials has now detected it three times and is demanding I restart my computer to continue cleansing the item. Not really clear on what to do to get it to stop freaking out about these false positives, though. Should I just un-quarantine them, or restart like it says and let this freak-out run its course? How have other people taken care of this issue?

 

Disable your antivirus and then add it as an exception, MSE is rather persistent sometimes!

 

Alrighty. I have added my Nexon folder and the MapleRoyals Setup 7-14 app itself as exceptions, and I'm getting ready to disarm MSE and re-install (it didn't allow the installation to complete last time). Before I go forward, is there anything else specific I should add as an exception?

Awesome! I'll try it. Thanks so much for your help. I'll report back after I'm done to confirm everything's working.

 

Reporting back: everything is running smoothly. Very excited to play v62 after all these years!
