# 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:
