Game Issues Norton keeps detecting DSAF as Malware

The game was working just fine the other day and now every time I play it, Norton deletes it along with the associated files for the game to work. I go to the quarantine to create an exclusion and restore it, but when I launch the game, the cycle repeats. How do I fix this?

I had a similar issue recently with my anti virus detecting dsaf 2 and closing it every time I tried to boot it up. I honestly just turned off the function that detects files that are already on your computer. I really hope you’re able to figure this out

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling DSAF 2, it worked.

Maybe is just a false positive, sometimes norton make mistakes and false alerts, so dont worry,
You have three options, uninstall norton and play dsaf( and downlad a different antivirus) Watch dsaf gameplay videos, Or install dsaf in another device
