The error message shown below appears when I join the AOE2 players lobby. Following Voobly's instructions, I reinstalled AOE2 through Steam; I also reinstalled Voobly. Neither of these actions corrected the issue. What should I try next to fix this?

HI there,

What security applications are you using (Antivirus/ Firewall/ Anti malware)?

Try disabling your security apps and then delete the AOC folder from 'c:\program files (x86)\voobly\gamedata'. Thereafter relogin to Voobly.

I am using Windows Defender. Disabling 'real-time protection,' 'cloud-delivered protection,' and 'automatic sample submission' seemed to work. I am now able to log on without any error messages.

Thanks.
