Antivirus & Firewall Problems

  • In 99% of the cases, the Game & Cot crashes / Does not Show / Does not Attach / Closes instantly because of an Antivirus software blocking it.
  • Often Antivirus Software picks up the bot as false positive, therefore:
  • Whitelist the whole C:\MinionApp\ Folder in your Antivirus. Disabling the Antivirus IS NOT A WORKING OPTION!
  • Windows 8 and Windows 10 users: The default Microsoft Defender - Antivirus & Firewall and whitelist the MinionApp Folder → works with our Products.
  • You don't need to Disable your Defender Antivirus on Windows 8 and Windows 10 or Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7.
  • 3rd Party Antivirus Software: Tencent PC Manager, Avira, Norton, Webroot, Avast, Comodo, AVG, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Sophos..and others → WHITELIST MINIONAPP FOLDER!

Disabled is not Uninstalled!

  • 3rd Party Antivirus Software have several background services still running which can cause a lot of problems.
  • If you insist on using your 3rd Party Antivirus, you can try Whitelist the whole C:\MinionApp\ Folder. But after any future Minion Update, it can stop working again.
