Netsk Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I have had DCS Installed on my computer for a year. I've had Avast anti-virus for the same period. Today something very weird happened. Is this a false positive or what's going on? Someone might remember me as 'FlyingRussian' from the Ubisoft Lock-On forum back in '03
Looney Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 False positive I presume. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Commodore 64 | MOS6510 | VIC-II | SID6581 | DD 1541 | KCS Power Cartridge | 64Kb | 32Kb external | Arcade Turbo
Morpheus Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 To be sure you can go here and scan the file online https://www.virustotal.com/, after you can exclude the file in Avast. I have Avast too and no problem here, have last version of Avast ?

Lawlcat Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 That pretty much sums it up. Microsoft Security Essentials is free and is, frankly, probably one of the best anti-virus programs you can get

sedenion Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) <troll>Uninstalling Windows to install Linux is by far the best antivirus you can get, and, it's free too... but many games don't run on it (including DCS)... because developers and users prefer to be enslaved by Microsoft and DirectX... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome</troll> Edited December 2, 2014 by sedenion
Backy 51 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Thanks ED for trying to infect me with the PennyBee adware! Poor Quality Control? I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
