Infected File

[Lady_Caster]

I have bought the game on GOG and was in the middle of preloading the game and my Bitdefender internet security suits has quarantined:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous\Banner\Wrath.exe.download
Due to being detected with "Gen:Variant.Bulz.667786"

Has anyone else had this?

Nope, I doubt its game related. Its either GOG or you got a virus somewhete from something else.

That is an obvious false-positive.

Use better Antivirus... Microsoft Security Essentials, or whatever it's called these days (Windows Defender it is) hasn't produced a single false-positive ever since it came out, at least not in my case.

That could also mean it doesn't detect as much

clearly a false positive as bitdefender is apparently prone to. The code is just a generic detection without any infos, use windows defender instead and get rid of bitdefender

No it passed my anti virus just fine maybe yours is being super picky.

Given that its definitions are updated almost daily and carry the Microsoft name, i.e. Microsoft's reputation being at risk, that's highly unlikely.

Besides, Bitdefender, just like the crap from McAfee is known for producing false-positives due to bad/overly aggressive heuristics, just like it did in your case.

Man use Kaspersky sheez... why are you using bitdefender.

Getting frequent definition update doesn't mean the programme is any better at detecting and preventing virus and malware.|
And honestly I would rather the occasional false positive (only the second one I have had in years of use) then to let something though (which I have never had)

I figured, but I thought I would just check with the community, just in case

Steam pre-loads are encrypted until release, so impossible to tell until then.

Then use a search engine and look up some comparisons... BitDefender is notorious for false-positives, and that isn't a mark of quality, but exactly the opposite, namely a badly written heuristics algorithm.

I also have Bitdefender (I have the Steam version pre-loaded) but Bitdefender didnt complain.
