Please see attached. I haven't played a shooter in ages so this weekend I decided to re-install my (steam version) copy of Far Cry 5. I last played this game in 2019 per steam, but I know I used the CH's trainer successfully with it in the past. Now Windows is asking "How do you want to open this file". I should tell you a couple things. I already edited the Microsoft Defender settings for the exclusion and I already tried fully uninstalling, deleting it from my computer and THEN re-downloading it from this site and re-installing. But nothing has changed.
Thank you.
9 outta 10 times it's security software blocking some or all of the trainer.
Please disable/uninstall all antivirus, firewall and other security software including browser addons and extensions. Right click "Run as Administrator" on trainer and game. Please note that some security products may still block access to trainer injection even when disabled and must be completely uninstalled. If this is the case, please contact the product vendor for instruction on the proper way to prevent the trainers from being blocked by their software or find a better alternative.

Extract trainer and make sure trainer/launcher/editor is in a folder excluded from virus scans. Empty quarantine folder if needed or set anything trainer related (paths and EXE's) to ALLOW. Disable any Live/Active/Real-Time tools which may trigger false positives in security software that may terminate the game/trainer when it's activated or options used.

may need to be added to exclusions as well. Click and select "Run as Administrator", read the instructions and try again.
