Why my avira report virus?

[XXX]

When I download the game, my Avira report that the "DoorKickers2.exe" is a "TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen2"type virus, is that a false positive, or that means some virus on my PC infected the file ? Did any one who use avira got same problem?

Hi, surely a false positive. Files are scanned by Devs and by Steam before being released.

Please notify this to Avira.

I know that the file itself is good, I just wanna know if there have any other avira user got this warning, if not, that might means my computer got some virus. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Replied that way for inform everyone who can read this post. In the past, other players thinked they were infected by Steam.

I think we might got some misunderstanding, what I trying to said is, *after* the file downloaded, the file might got infected by some virus on *my* computer, then triggered the avira's warning, or it just a simple false positive. I post this just wanna know if other avira user met same problem, If they do, then it means it's a false positive, if not, that means some virus(on my computer) infected the dk2.exe, then I have to scan my disk. Apologize for
the misunderstanding caused by my bad expression.

Definitely no need to apologize. You expressed yourself in a very clear way.

In the past, in case of similar threads, people who simply read the word "virus" go panicking. So I'll write every time that files are scanned.

No other reports for now about Avira, anyway, maybe another definition update may solve the issue itself.

Personally speaking, I doubt that your pc is infected by other sources, because the antivirus should point another file...

Thanks for your explain. If there don't have any other report yet, I guess I have to scan my disk. *sigh*

Made a quick search on Google... The type of virus reported, seems to be a generic classification for unknown trojan, or at least, files which have a portion of programming code vaguely similar to a known virus.

Read about this on Steam, Gog or other pc platforms. Even Microsoft files erroneously marked this way.

I stand on the supposition that in a couple of days, after a definition update, your pc will result clean.

Thanks, I wish so, but I still ran the scan just in case.

After your reply, I checked the scan history, and found that antivirus do got some this type virus on my computer before, I used thought that might just some isolated instance, but I'm not sure about it now.

anyway, thanks for you help!

My anti-virus just picked up DK2 aswell, weirdly though I've had this game downloaded for a week or 2 and it just now decided to tell me.

Hi, which antivirus? Anyway, surely a false positive. You can submit the file to Virustotal.com.

One day they will switch to linux, and there will be no sketchy .exe... and even if it will be run inside wine wich can be easly blocked to accses anything outside of prefix...
All zero-click exploits will be fixed ASAP by developers instead of beeng kept for CIA&goveroment as zero-days...
