League of Legends Version 4.20.14-11_18_18_52

Issue: Avast Antivirus is detecting the league executable as a virus and blocks

Reproduction: 1: Install & update Avast Antivirus 2: Boot League 3: Start any game (custom 1v0 game) 4: Avast gives a message that the league file has been blocked due to malicious content C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.1.68\deploy\League of Legends.exe

Behavior: You can proceed through champ select, finish and start the game, but the champ select screen minimizes to the system tray while the actual game never boots. You can close, relog and the game will not start.

Hi Herdis,

This is an issue with Avast's latest virus database definitions. Would you mind submitting a False Positive report to Avast here:

Thanks!

Avast detects anything that uses username and passwords as a virus lol
