IDP.Generic.6DE442F3 Anti Virus Threat

[^0-=^3Emp^0=- ^0MCL ^3Hatchet]

When I started the game up for the first time, my AVG Internet Security said that IDP.Generic.6DE442F3 was a threat and I just wanted to make sure that it was not a threat.

Why would steam be selling you a virus?

True, but it's possible that a virus got through the firewall while downloading it for some odd reason. Guess I should trust it.

Anti-virus software today can give some false alerts because they look at files and go "hmm, the way this software works could possibly be a virus maybe". Maybe it's an uncommon way of taking input from the player or something that perhaps makes the anti-virus think it's a keylogger and so on.

Usually this will be flagged from the 39.dll which handles all of the online play. This is a common file that gets flagged with anti-vrius software because it is used to establish connections between users.

Considering how complete ♥♥♥♥ AVG is dont worry. You really think steam would every take that kind of risk? No way they're amazing.

i got a trojan alert for Wonderlust.exe i know its not really a trojan but its just intresting why it would think so.

I had another game with false virus alerts on it from steam before. it's not a new issue, and mostly happens with indie games. Not sure if they develop it a way their file looks suspicious to virus checkers or it just looks that way. I doubt a indie game company would take the time to put a virus in their games on purpose..unless it is for some dubious thing.

Its odd because im getting the exact same thing from CSGO, ♥♥♥♥♥....
