I have my doubts tha sega would intentionally distrobute a virus/malware (why would they even need too it doesnt make sense (they already have code execution privilages on your machine because you installed the game :P). One can only speculate what it is. Maybe someone at their office has a virus on their computer and infected the executable before they deployed it ? I dunno anyway...
I downloaded the game ages ago and just got around to playing it today. I'm having crashing issues, and found this thread while looking to see if anyone was having the same issue I was.
I'm in the same situation as you Jada; I bought this at launch, installed it, and was able to play it without any problems. It seems to have happened some time after launch.
-Edit- but now when I tried re-installing it (months later) I keep getting virus..
Edit: And it won't even let me edit in what I was trying to say. Damnit.
but I'm able to see your post and edit
Can Steam or developers comment on this please?
I wonder if it's a false positive or if there is indeed something bad. Either way it sucks...
I noticed on the Library entry for this game, there is an entry for "Football Manager DLC" under the installed content. Anyone think this was included somewhere in the .exe and this is why AVG pops it as a virus?
Has anyone tried running the file through www.virustotal.com (runs the file by the database of every known virus software to see if it's just one program's false positive)? When I tried, I was told I needed admin access to the file (even though i AM the admin), and wouldn't let me upload it.
Any ideas on how to fix the issue?
EDIT: Also, does anyone know why a zombie typing game would have a DLC entry for Football Manager in the first place?
Maybe it's because I repeatedly used the names of some programs in it.
Anyways, I scanned the crap out of my computer last night, and there are no viruses, but the game was still crashing.
Putting the game into XP service pack 3 compatibility mode seems to have resolved the crashing issue.
BanzaiRoundCat, I can try to run the executable through that website when I download the game again. Every time AVG quarantines the virus, the affected executable no longer works which means that I have to download it and install through Steam each time if I want to try it again. And I don't want go use up all of my bandwidth because this is the second time I've downloaded the game in the past couple of days.
Are you absolutely sure that it's a virus? Have you looked up (online) the file that AVG is quarantining?
Bias aside, AVG isn't as good a anti-malware program as Malwarebytes or even Microsoft Security Essentials is.
