fs2-open 3.6.13 says is an virus
nod32 says well

[Droid803]

oh uh, don't worry its not a virus.
false positive :3

[WouterSmitssm]

nod32 says its an virus

[Jeff Vader]

nod32 says its an virus

Well then nod32 is WRONG. Seriously, I really don't think Droid803 would start spreading viruses in his campaigns.

[WouterSmitssm]

no it isnt wrong

read that than

Yes, it is. Something in its signature engine is mistaking something in FSO for a virus. This sort of thing happens every once in a while, and it always, always is an error on the part of the antivirus software.

and 6 warnings

Your build's out of date, get the latest RC.

Yes, it is. Something in its signature engine is mistaking something in FSO for a virus. This sort of thing happens every once in a while, and it always, always is an error on the part of the antivirus software.

It's indeed NOD32's fault. I've scanned it with COMODO AV (both packed and unpacked), just to be sure, and the complete pack is 100% clean (mind, it's a rather paranoid AV).

[WouterSmitssm]

yeach but than it says virus
i may not use if nod says its an virus
look at  my picture

[Droid803]

I most assure you it is not!

[WouterSmitssm]

Just use the build provided. NOD isn't the best AV out there, so I wouldn't be surprised if it gives you a false positive. Some AVs do that, I've checked the files with COMODO (which would have warned me if it really was a virus, as it's pretty reliable) and found nothing. You have nothing to worry about.
Also, posting warning messages in German won't help, since a lot of people on HLP don't speak German.

Then don't play this campaign. Either you trust our word that the build is clean and your antivirus software is giving you a false positive, or you wait until an SCP build with the required features comes out.

look AT IT

I do not speak dutch, but I believe that popup is generated by the heuristics engine in your antivirus program. AGAIN, THIS IS A FALSE POSITIVE. Either ignore it or don't play this campaign.



Please confirm that you have read and understood this post.

[WouterSmitssm]

I Have readed and understood but its still a virus
or give me the link for r8670
try to translate
it says is an unkown virus

[General Battuta]

It is not a virus; your antivirus software is jumping at shadows; it is making a mistake.

[Dragon]

If you trust a (fairly dumb I might add) antivirus program over human experts, then I'm afraid you can't be helped.
It's not a virus. It's a program making a mistake, it doesn't even know what it found. If it was a virus, other people would have already said so.

[jr2]

FWIW, I get the occasional crash on my Win 7 x64 system as well using the supplied build (I'll copy it here next time for ppls).

As far as difficulty goes, I found that using normal flight mode was easier than gliding (although I want to try switching it on and off - I was trying with it left on).

Wouter, please, listen: your AV is giving you a false positive.  I've seen this many times.  I go to torrent a useful program and see posts with people hollering "DONT DL ITS A VIRUS! BE WARNED! SNORTIN' NORTON AND MCCRACKAFEE SAID IT WAS A HORRIBLE VIRUS!!!!!!1111ELEVENTY-ONE"

Let me explain:

Your anti-virus has to protect against viruses that are not known yet.  If it did not, then when a virus was released, it would easily find its way past your AV soft every time.  To fight this, the AV soft tries to guess if the file is a virus based on how it "looks".  This is called "heurustics" and it can sometimes protect against viruses that are unknown.  Not always, but sometimes.  The down side is that sometimes, your AV soft will incorrectly mark a file as 'suspicious' or even claim that it thinks that it is a virus.  In this case, you should compare notes with other people who have good antivirus software (like the people here).  You know, AV soft actually also will flag as a virus software that it simply doesn't like, such as software that can modify a program to allow it to be used without paying for it and software that can crack passwords.  This makes it hard to find such tools for legitimate uses (such as recovering passwords from a system that was maliciously password-protected by someone who was not the owner, or software to crack a program that was purchased but the original software key was lost).  This is because, many supposed tools that claim to 'crack' programs to use free or tools that crack passwords can contain viruses, because virus makers know that those tools are wanted by many people and will release viruses that claim to do what people want.  However, the actual cracking software will also be flagged as a virus by the AV soft, either because the process to crack a program is similar to the virus (making the program do something it's not supposed to do, like work for free), or because the AV soft makers have low opinions of what they assume is thievery or malicious behavior).

That being said, wouter, I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and they both confirm that the supplied FS2 exe is good.  Try updating NOD32.  If that doesn't work, either tell NOD32 to ignore that file permanently or switch your AV softwae.  You could also make sure that your NOD32 settings are correct.  (Don't set an anti-virus software's settings to 'high security' paranoid mode unless you have a really good reason.)

[Sombre]

Of course it gives a false positive, Ashen Wings: Shadow Ops doesn't even exist!

[NeonShivan]

I use Norton Security Suite and Xfinity Constant Guard. When I downloaded this Norton would of picked it up immediately and go Bruce Lee on its ass. I will assure you its not a virus but an error on your Anti-Virus' part. At least its doing its job though!
