Actually you can just remove it from your vault and add it to a exception all at once without a reinstall.

Right Click avast icon in your system tray and select virus chest. find the lolLauncher.exe and Right click, restore and add exception

then your all good, might have to restart tho.

Just had this issue like 5 minutes ago and its a lot simpler than reinstalling the whole game if your internet is crappy

I had an heart attack from the sudden noise, wasn't expecting that.

Same. Had to uninstall and make avast ignore it. 50% now

Same just happened to me with avast. Although 6 hours ago I didn't have this problem

Hey all, with the latest update from Avast this should now be resolved!

To update manually, right-click the tray icon and choose "Update -> Engine and virus definitions."

This just happened to me too...

Edit: I saw that avast put the file that starts the LoL launcher into its malware chest.
