It's specifically the anti-ransomware feature in Malwarebytes, so you can just disable that. Otherwise your save files will get fucked up and you will waste your time.
Also, I am starting an online confessional booth, so you can tell me all of your darkest secrets to just, kinda, let them off your chest. Nothing to do with disabling your anti-ransomware, completely unrelated.
EDIT: Also, I'm going on a vacation for a couple weeks, then moving back to the city so I can get a job and get laid, so radio silence for a while. There will soon be another Brigand DLC, and also an updated Warlordocracy demo (the demo is on Steam now but it's still a little fucked up).
