Its a fasle positive, been an issue with some anti-virus and wreckfest for quite some time now. Add an exception/white list it. search for malware or anti virus for extra confirmation

Same here... It would be nice if the developer would fix this with the anti virus companies. Should be in the interessest of both companies.

We are trying, but it takes time to contact every single one especially since we need to do that once again after most updates. Also, some of them never got back to us.

Just bought and installed Wreckfest, Avast detects it as "Win32:BogEnt." I get that some people say it's a false positive however I can't remember the last time a game has done that. I'm definitely a bit concerned.

Come on people, use your brains, do you really think THQ or Bugbear would put anything malicious on your computer !! God forbid get a grip!! It's not in their interest to infect your computer with adware/malware/virus does not make any sense to, who the hell is going to buy it if it's full of malicious code!!

Upload the files to the antivirus company, and let them look at the file manual

It is not just people, the Dev himself is saying it is a false positive. You can see his yellow name abd the yellow (Developer) Tag, right? Do you really think that Developers will do something like that and risk their reputation forever? Do you even know of any case on gaming history were Developers infected users through steam? I mean... thinking is not illegal yet guys.

That's right, please think about it. 424 games in my library and I can't remember any of them setting off my anti virus. Sure it probably is false positive, but why just this game? As someone who advocates "thinking" surely you understand.

I've seen it happen with other games, for example Polyball and Secret Ponchos. They weren't real viruses either (duh), false positive.

It's not really the devs fault, different AV programs may give unexpected false positives. They can't test every possible AV on the planet. Until the AV company sorts it, you can create an exception to the file. You can be 100% guaranteed it's not a real virus.

You could upload the file to the AV company in question, they have a report function. I've personally reported 1 false positive that way to F-Secure, and they fixed it. Devs have obviously done this too, but doesn't prevent doing it again.
