If you aren't on Windows 10 then do the following:

* Disable Real-Time Protection in Windows Security
  * You can also add exclusions on the bottom of the page to keep your loaders from getting deleted occasionally.
* If you get "An error occurred while trying to load the driver, please contact support." or a DRIVER 0*x*1001-0*x*1003 error, uninstall the latest security update installed on your computer.
