Hi Have a pc game called Montjoie put out by AGEOD...now owned by Paradox....Norton..Avg...avira and some others used to flag it as a trojan....Well norton Doesn't do that anymore but Norton..Microsoft Security Essentials and god knows how many more say the patch is.a Trojan now.and both programs delete the the patched game...I only run one anti virus but I've tried several on the patch and bam..so I set Norton to skip scanning the folder so i could keep the game..Heck Norton even tries to block their web site...I wound up going on the Montjoie forum and telling them and Here is the answer I got back...Is this a problem with anti virus programs? " No. You're the victim of misinformation due to the way antivirus programs work. They look for specific code sequences and then flag the entire program as a virus. As more virus are reported, the more these so-called anti-virus programs are going to report what are known as false-positives. It is the responsibility of the Anti-virus software programmer(s) to provide various ways for the end user to compensate for these reported false-positives. One way provided is to manually override your anti-virus program by telling it to ignore a report of a specific .exe being a false-positive. You will have to read the documentation of whatever anti-virus program you might be running to understand how to utilize these work-arounds. Either that or assume everything reported is a real virus. As the proliferation of virus "signatures" grow, I can foresee a time when more programs are reported as viruses than programs that are not." | |
