What should I do if I receive "[Football Manager title] will damage your computer, you should move it to the bin" error message?

On rare occasions, Football Manager can be incorrectly identified as a threat when being launched

To avoid this occurring, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to Full Disk Access window via Privacy & Security
2. Go to Steam Library and right click on FM26 -> Manage -> Browse local files
3. Drag the 'fm.exe' to Full Disk Access
4. Relaunch FM26

The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it, just as you can any authorised app.

If nothing above works, please submit a support request stating exactly what you've tried so far, and a member of our team will try to help.
