Antivirus and Firewall Conflicts

Updated over a week ago

WeMod is safe to use and does not contain viruses or malware. However, some antivirus programs may flag it incorrectly due to how trainers work and how our software is protected.

Reasons of WeMod being flagged by antivirus

Antivirus tools sometimes label WeMod or its trainers as threats because:

  • Trainers modify game memory, which resembles the behavior of malicious software.

  • Our code is protected using methods that can prevent antivirus tools from scanning them correctly.

  • Some antivirus software uses aggressive heuristics and flags any app it cannot analyze thoroughly.

These are false positives. WeMod is safe and trusted by millions of users worldwide, with over 11,000 five-star reviews on Trustpilot. WeMod does not and will never include malware in our products. Our platform is funded by our Pro subscribers — not ads, not spyware, and never bundled junkware.

Antivirus blocking WeMod

If your antivirus is blocking or removing WeMod or its trainers, follow these steps to fix it:

1. Restore files from quarantine

Check your antivirus’s quarantine section and restore any WeMod-related files.

2. Add WeMod to your antivirus exceptions

Whitelist the following two WeMod directories in your antivirus:

  • C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\WeMod

  • C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\WeMod

This prevents future false positives from deleting or interfering with trainer files.

3. Follow specific instructions by antivirus exclusions
