Could you please do a Clean Boot and then run a repair on the game (right click the game tile in Origin client)?
Worked. Thanks for the solution. I actually turned off my virus scan (which still came on after clean reboot)....will I have to always leave it off? I have Avast Pro. Do i always have to do a clean boot? Thanks in advance
Community AdminThanks for the update, djtripp. You should be able to add Origin and the game as exceptions to ensure that it'll never be blocked when installing.
I'm not familiar with Avast, but perhaps there are extra installation protection settings that need to be opened up/set to a temporary open mode.

Do you use Windows? If so what version? If you say Vista or 7, then you should download Microsoft Security Esentials. It is a far simpler, and better, AV Software that works well with Windows. Low resource usage, and it doesn't automatically block, stop, delete, or 'quarantine' files. It always asks you before doing anything. But best of all is that it's free. Windows 8/8.1 come pre-loaded with Windows Defender built into the OS, this does the same thing. So really, if you have Windows Vista-8.1, you don't need a 3rd-party AV software. So you could avoid this problem in the future and keep your PC protected. Of course this is all assuming you trust my opinion.
