Not sure if my Anti Virus is being over protective or not but it just had an absolute hissy fit over an update I just had to download. there was a 2mb download and then a 100mb download right after. The object was

My antivirus blocked this download and now I have to get a clean install

My AV has done the same in the past. I just generally ignore it and turn the AV off and redownload whatever I need. I use Norton and it either doesn't have the option to ignore and download anyway or they hide it so well that I can't see it in that very short window it gives you to react. If it's something I know and something I'm currently doing then I just ignore it. AV's can be fickle at the best of times. I also have it set to allow on it's Firewall so it won't annoy me every time I try to use it. I doubt that would help with this but it's worth a shot.
I am finding that I hate this program. It appears to be more trouble than it is worth and to be honest I am not at all comfortable with it. I dont see why we had to stop using the downloader and switch to this instead. I mean I feel like I am using another form of Steam and everything within me is screaming NOOOOOOOOOO. My AV having a hissy fit makes me feel even worse.

The worst part is, if I want to be able to play any of my games, I have no choice but to use this software.

Only for Multiplayer, you can just get the installer for singleplayer and play without Galaxy.

As far as I am aware, I am using that. I still don't like the idea surrounding it. It feels too much like Steam in my opinion and it feels wrong somehow.

Huh?
I mean the old downloader is still working. I'm still using it without any problems.

AVG reads Galaxy as clean. Try asking the oracle.
