This is the 3rd time now I will be having to reinstall because multiple anti virus programs lock the phoenix.exe and won't let it function... are there any solution to this ?????

Reinstalling changes nothing, so ofcourse your antivir programm will do the same thing again.

You need to configure the antivir program differently, probably make an exception for Phoenix or something

What so you mean by reinstall? Like just putting phoenix.exe back into the daoc folder or are you reinstalling all of daoc?

No, go to your anti-virus settings and look for the option to allow exceptions. Add Phoenix.exe to that and your problem is solved. Had the same thing with Avast.

Ok so here is a huge tip, and if in doubt check with some trusted PC techs...

Get rid of Avast and Mcafee if you have them. Get a good cleaning app to wipe out all the adware they put on your computer because they are worse than almost any other program I have ever used for viruses.

Immediately turn on Windows Defender and let it do a thorough scan and enjoy better virus protection with less cpu usage.

Most of the antivirus programs are garbage and push being free, while in fact they fill your system with adware which causes more problems.

Take the time to research and you will find Microsoft spends more money on just antivirus than what mcafee and avast are worth together as companies. I have had ZERO virus issues ever since switching to Windows Defender a couple years ago and my computer runs a crapload better.

I have Norton360 and it's fine with all the phoenix related stuff...
