.NET Framework VC Runtime Antivirus Setup Need Help?

Why Do I Need These?

Most of our tools and cheats are built using C# and C++, which require specific runtime libraries to function. Without these dependencies installed, you may encounter errors like:

  • "The application failed to start because .NET Framework is not installed"
  • "VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found"
  • "MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer"
  • "d3dx9_43.dll" or "xinput1_3.dll" was not found (DirectX errors)
  • "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime"

Installing both packages below will ensure all our tools work flawlessly on your system. For DirectX errors, see the troubleshooting section below.

Antivirus Configuration

How to disable antivirus or add exclusions for game tools

Why Antivirus Blocks Game Tools

Game cheats and tools use code injection techniques that antivirus software flags as potentially malicious, even though they're harmless. This is called a false positive.

Two Options:

  • Option 1: Temporarily disable your antivirus (recommended for quick testing)
  • Option 2: Add folder exclusions (recommended for permanent use)

Windows Defender (Windows 10/11)

Most common antivirus - built into Windows

Method 1: Disable Real-Time Protection (Temporary)

  1. Press Windows + I to open Windows Settings
  2. Click on "Privacy & Security" (Windows 11) or "Update & Security" (Windows 10)
  3. Click on "Windows Security"
  4. Click on "Virus & threat protection"
  5. Under "Virus & threat protection settings", click "Manage settings"
  6. Toggle "Real-time protection" to OFF
  7. Confirm the UAC prompt if it appears
Note: Real-time protection will automatically turn back on after a while. This is temporary and good for quick testing.

Method 2: Add Folder Exclusion (Permanent)

  1. Press Windows + I to open Windows Settings
  2. Click on "Privacy & Security" → "Windows Security"
  3. Click on "Virus & threat protection"
  4. Scroll down and click "Manage settings" under "Virus & threat protection settings"
  5. Scroll down to "Exclusions" and click "Add or remove exclusions"
  6. Click "Add an exclusion" → "Folder"
  7. Browse to your tools folder (e.g., C:\Tools or C:\Cheats)
  8. Select the folder and click "Select Folder"
Recommended: Create a dedicated folder like C:\Tools and add it as an exclusion. Extract all your game tools to this folder.

Restore Quarantined Files

  1. Open Windows Security
  2. Click "Virus & threat protection"
  3. Click "Protection history"
  4. Find your file in the list
  5. Click on it and select "Actions" → "Restore"
