Hello. So, we are using a program for security called Bitdefender which protects my familys computers from malwares and trojans and as such. However, the program is blocking the websites that allow us to download the Forge and when we try to open the Forge on Minecraft, it never opens. It keeps being stuck at "Preparing". We tried doing it with and without mods, removing certain apps and it still doesn't work. This is a problem for both me and my little brother. Are there files we have to give exclusion for the forge to work in Minecraft? If there are, which ones? Me and my brother are really in a gridlock because of this, and my dad who is good at computer stuffs couldn't solve it either. We would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

I would assume the site being blocked is AdFocus, which is the site used to monetize Forge's download links.

Try going to the files page, clicking "Show All Versions" and clicking the little information symbol next to the installer download for the version you want.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.
