# Norton

First let's add the exception to the Norton Antivirus:

Open Norton then go to "Settings"-> "Scans and Risks" and scroll down to "Exclusions/Low risks":

At "Items to Exclude from Scans", click on "Configure"->"Add Files":

Add an exception for the **RMLLauncher.exe** you downloaded:

As well as for the **HMLCore.exe** located in **C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\RaftModLoader .**

Then click on "Add Folders" to add an exception for the entire **RaftModLoader** folder located at **C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\RaftModLoader .**

This is what your exceptions should look like. Confirm by hitting "Apply" then "Ok":

Now add the exact same exceptions for "Items to Exclude from Auto-Protect, Script Control, Behavioral Protection and Download Intelligence Detection":

After you're done hit "Apply" and then "Ok":

If the Raft Mod Loader can't connect to the internet, you'll need to add an exception to your firewall too:

1. Go to **Settings** -> **Firewall** -> **Application Control**
2. Use the search function to find **`HML`**
3. Allow network access for **`HML`**

Finally restart the computer to apply the settings!

## Aaaand you're done !

**Simply restart our launcher and it should be working !** :thumbsup:
