Football Mogul: McAfee Bug Workaround

Some Football Mogul users are encountering problems trying to install the game on a computer with McAfee anti-virus software running. After fighting with them for 3+ months, it's clear that McAfee has a bug that they are unwilling to fix. If you need proof that Football Mogul is safe, you can right click on FB19.exe and choose 'Scan' (with the red McAfee icon) and McAfee will tell you the program has no viruses.

However, whenever you run FB19.exe, McAfee deletes it. :(

To replace the one file that McAfee keeps deleting, you can get it here (to avoid reinstalling the entire game):

http://files.sportsmogul.com/FB19.exe

Copy this file to c:/Sports Mogul/Football Mogul 19/ (or wherever you installed the game).

Then you'll have to exclude FB19.exe from McAfee's Real-Time Scanning:
1.    Run the McAfee program. 
2.    Click Settings (the circular gear cog) at the top right. 
3.    Click Real-Time Scanning. 
4.    Click Excluded Files. 
5.    Click Add File. 
6.    Navigate to the location of FB19.exe (e.g. C:\Sports Mogul\Football Mogul 19)
7.    Click 'FB19.exe' and click the 'Open' button.
8.    Close McAfee and run Football Mogul 19.

I hope this finally resolves your problem. If not, you probably have a few choices:

1) Go back into McAfee Real-Time Scanning and turn off the entire feature.
2) Contact McAfee product support for help.
3) Uninstall McAfee.

As I said above, and I cannot stress this strongly enough as a small business owner who has been developing virus-free software for more than 20 years, this is McAfee's problem, not ours -- and I've talked with other developers that are frustrated by the same bug. We could use your help stressing to them that this bug is causing serious headache for their users (some of whom have already told me that they simply uninstalled McAfee once they realized that it was constantly deleting a program that McAfee itself verified was virus-free).

Thanks!
