So disable the built in virus protection in Windows 8 so the plugin can run?
This is not a viable solution, it's a disaster waiting to happen. EA needs to fix the plugin. Posting work arounds that have the potential to cause harm to users systems is not helpful.

Indeed, why exactly are they requiring a plugin at all?
The game is more than capable of executing whatever code it wants, surely this would make more sense to have as a standalone application? Or... you know... just use in-game menus like a normal company.

The source of the issue is the security in Internet Explorer 11. To use the plugin, do one of two things:
1) Install Firefox. The plugin works fine in this.
2) Add http://battlelog.battlefield.com and https://battlelog.battlefield.com to the list of trusted sites under internet options, under the security. While here, do yourself a favor and disable "Enable Protected Mode".
You can enable defender after installing the plugin.
Don't overdramatize everything, please.
scadaguy added something useful to the thread at least, minus the drama.
