EB vs. Antivirus

[Biowulf]

I just got a new computer, a Dell Inspiron, with Kaspersky Antivirus. Unfortunately, it blocks EB after I install the Trivial Script saying it's similar to a worm. The installation doesn't finish and I'm unable to play my favorite mod. Is there any way to get around the Antivirus program?

De-select the option to install Trivial Script during the installation of EB1.1 (and launch EB with a shortcut)

or

de-activate the program itself for the installation

or

put the installer itself on Kaspersky's safe list

Well I finally had time to try option #1 and it works nearly perfectly, so thank you. Although I did get a weird script error after I closed EB saying Seuthes is a named character with no father, isn't married, and isn't the faction head. It didn't force the game to quit so I don't know if it's a big issue or not.

That sounds like a bugged installation.
Please run validateInstall.bat and post your results here (if you have problems with the validation tool, please read this first: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=93236 )

If the game itself runs without problems and you don't get weird names or traits it should be no big problem.

Here are my results, I think most of the changes are due to Jirisys's EB mod though.

I'm quite sure it comes from the package. As long it does not corrupt games I would ignore it.
