MMOLoader gone

[Wolfy]

This happened on the last patch update and has happened again.

Last week I went to load up MMOLoader and the file was missing?? My shortcuts couldn't find it, I looked in the MMObugs folder - it was gone.

I tried copying a backup of it into the folder and I no-longer had administrator permissions on that folder to do so.

After an hour of setting permissions, I managed to copy the file back in. update and worked fine.

Today I tried to load it up...the file which the shortcut was pointing to cannot be found.....tried copying my spare file in....no adminstrator permissions....

It was there when I closed EQ down yesterday...so where has it gone???
Why do I not have admin permissions on my own computer to copy in to that folder - all other folders are fine????

Please help

There are 2 places you have to put it. Here are instructions from their site:

How to add application or process exclusions in Bitdefender Control Center

Only workaround for me for bitdefender was disabling it completely. Adding to exclusions didn't work for me.

Yep Loader Gone here too

I use Bitdefender Total Security 2018 and Malwarebytes Premium. But I didn't catch either one deleting Loader, I was napping a bit. However, I've had the MQ2 folder excluded forever. And it still is ATM.
I've also got some weird authorizing errors going on too. I had to take ownership back and again remove write protection. I hate Win10, miss XP so much.
