Hi, how can I stop Norton from removing LCPDFR and ELS everytime I start up GTA? 

 

Thanks. :)

My advice?

 

Get rid of Norton.

Norton's Internet security is in my opinion a horrible piece of software; along with all their antivirus products.

 

Don't get me wrong, Norton actually manage one really good utility.

Norton broke my PC a few years ago. They said there was a virus from my GTA IV that I got off of steam. It then corrupted system files.

 

If I were you, uninstall Norton and get Webroot! Norton is just crap.

I would recommend using Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. 

Yea now a days, using the wrong protection can really hinder your computer.  I used to use AVG awhile ago - and boy it didn't like LCPDFR, even if I told it to leave it alone.

Norton is the worse Internet security you'll ever find. EVerything to it is a virus or malware of some sort . When I had it, even my project files, which include some PHP, C# files, it kept removing them. Just turn norton off..

Norton 360 is a great anti-virus software. It's fast, safe, efficient, and reliable. It has protected me from numerous threats and compromises, and it continues to do so. I don't recommend removing it, just simply putting it into its "silent or gaming" mode. I've been using Norton 360 for 5 years and I have had no issues with my system. You get what you pay for, and with Norton 360 you get more than what you pay for. Norton 360 and Norton Standard Anti-Virus are two completely different versions. Norton sucks ass, Norton 360 is what you want. You'll have to put a bit more money on the table, but it's more than worth it if you know what you're doing.

As far as Norton removing your LCPDFR, I can help you with that privately because it takes a LOT of steps to fix, and others jumping in and out of the process could make it very confusing. Just let me know if you'd like me to explain it here, or feel free to send me a private message and we can continue from there.

I agree with CriminalKillaz. I love having Norton as my anti-virus! I have 360 though so I am not sure if the steps are different to allow certain things through.

For 360 you're required to manually allow LCPDFR to run. Then you must allow the LCPDFR Diagnostics tool to run. Norton 360 sees it as a threat, which is completely understandable. I'd rather be overprotected than under protected :D

I had bad experience with Norton in the past. I got rid of it and switched to BitDefender. Try it out the trial and see how it works then. I've been using them for about 5-6 years now and don't plan to switch any time soon.

Hmm, my GTA gets along fine with AVG. What version/year were you using?

Honestly off hand I cannot remember, this was one of my many reasons for leaving AVG.  It became such a hassle.
