Anti-virus keeps deleting crusadepatch2.exe, wont run, keeps crashing.

I have downloaded this zip file from both the links in the facebook group and off gamejolt and the rest of the mirrors. The game refuses to work for me no matter what I do. I dont have any way of adding the exe file to a safelist so that my kaspersky doesn't delete it. It keeps thinking that it is a trojan virus. The game crashes every time i load a match, right after i select a stage and characters. I need help now because nothing I do is working and apparently the only two posts I've seen that are similar went unanswered. its a conspiracy i tells you. Some help would be much appreciated though. Thank you

I had the same problem. This worked for me:

-Open Kaspersky
-Select Settings (at the bottom)
-Select Additional on the left, then Threats & Exclusions
-Under Exclusions, select Specify trusted applications.
-Click on Add, and then browse for crusadepatch2.exe
-You'll then see a list of checkboxes. I checked everything but the last one (not sure if the last one will somehow block online matches if it remains unchecked)
-Click Add
-You should now be able to play matches in Crusade.
