How do I re-install WMMA3 without buying it again? Avast seems to have wiped out the file <img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Nice to see that I wasn't alone on this <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I turned off Avast just so I can open the game, then turned Avast back on and so far it's been okay.

Nevermind. I finally figured it out.

 

For those who havent:

 

1 - Open Avast

 

2 - On the upper right should be a "settings". Click.

 

3 - Click on "Global Exlcusions"

 

4 - Select "browse"

 

5 - Find the GDS folder and select it.

 

6 - Hit enter so it actually adds it to the exclusions list.
