I've looked it up and it seems alot of other people have been having the same problem. Well anyway, my antivirus, Trend Micro picks up Minecraft as a trojan/malware/virus. I can't download it to add it to my exception list. Does anyone know a way around this?

Please use the .jar version of the launcher instead.

No, I have WinRAR so it classifies it as an archive.

Alright thanks :), but do you know how to add Minecraft.exe to the exception list? I can't seem to download it.

I don't. I will not recommend Trend Micro too.
