Antivirus detecting keyloggerX-gen[Trj]

[game0575]

Why is there a keylogger being detected in EndlessMemories.exe. I would have assumed it would have been a false positive but a keylogger? That does'nt sound like something that would be a false positive.

Same here.

Is this something that happened before or this started recently?

Edit: Also, can you please tell me what anti-virus is flagging the game with this?

[game0575]

This just happened today without me even launching the game the anti-virus is avg internet security.
Previously I was able to play the game with no issue (maybe one false positive) , I tried uninstalling and re-installing to see if it was potentially another false positive but got this keylogger detection again. Not a good feeling to have the potential thought of having keystrokes monitored when a game hasn't been launched (or even when launched).

Hope this helps identify the issue.

Thank you! We did not add anything to the game that could cause this. Will test with avg to see why is the game getting flagged.

[game0575]

Awesome! thanks for taking the time to test and try to fix this. It's been a great and fun game so far, can't wait to continue playing once this has been resolved.

Looks like games made with the engine we use, recently are getting a false positive. The company already sent communication to MS and other AV programs, so the issue will be fixed soon! Thank you for your patience guys!

Avast antivirus has this issue too.

[game0575]

Thanks for communicating with the company have there been any updates regarding this? I also sent the file to avg for review explaining the possibility of being a false positive.

It's been about three weeks since I reported this and I continue getting this antivirus detection, I have been unable to pick the game where I have left off. Has there been any updates regarding this developers?

Hello! They promised an update for this week but we are still waiting for it! They keep posting updates regarding the false positives with an improvement with fewer and fewer antivirus programs flagging the games. Hopefully next week we get a final update.

Update 1.0.2.7 is up! this one should fix all false positives for good! Thanks for your patience.

Hey, I had that same problem, I went to the trunk and restored the .exe file and added to exceptions, this way you can open it without problems.

@Cuincuan thanks for the explanation for people that are unaware of this, but I am aware its just to have a false positve detected as Win32:MalwareX-gen [Trj] is worry some, if It were any other false positve that didn't imply serious malware, I would be more than happy to do this.

@homunculusgames Thank you for your efforts, appreciate the time you guys are taking to solve this problem. I am unable to verify if the 1.0.2.7 update fixed the false positive issue as I am now unable to update and or re-install the game =(
(update: restarted my computer and tried installing and the issue persists with the avg internet security placing the files on quarantine)
