Hi Crin

I use Malwarebytes, AVG and C-Cleaner. Both Malwarebytes and AVG do automatic scans and updates.

I've noticed that nearly every time I turn on my laptop after it's been off overnight, the Sims 4 desktop icon disappears and that's when I need to run a repair. Do you think it might be Malwarbytes? I know it is a strange program that keeps deleting auslogics defrag. It sees it as malware. Maybe it's seeing Sims 4 as malware... ? ^.~

@Riverleigh I would not put two programs on automatic scans. They might cause conflicts. Best is to just use Malware Bytes manually.

Try turning it off for the moment and see if the issue persists.
