Why does the GameBuff download progress bar turn red halfway through?

A red progress bar indicates that the browser or antivirus software (such as Windows Defender) has flagged the installer as "high risk" during real-time scanning and performed a silent block. This is typically triggered by security policies when modifier software attempts to write to temporary folders. As long as you verify the signer is 【Game Buff Technology Co., Ltd.】, you can recover your download by following these steps. Three quick steps to recover your progress: 1. Address system block pop-ups: Check the lower-right corner of your taskbar for red alert pop-ups from Windows Security Center or 360/Tencent PC Manager. Click and select "Allow on device" or "Restore file." 2. Add to whitelist (long-term solution): To avoid repeated blocks, go to your antivirus settings and add the official GameBuff download domain dl.gamebuff.cn or your download folder to the exclusion list/whitelist. 3. Resume the download process: Go back to your browser's download page (Ctrl+J) and click the "Resume" button. If the download appears corrupted, click "Download Now" or "Alternative Download" on the official website to try again.
