Verify the integrity of your game files via steam or redownload everything to be sure

I'd rather suspect that its a false alarm.

Who uses AVG these days? its awful... I mean it thinks a game is a virus XD are people really this stupid?

[Useless Noodle]

I once thought if we pinned hot topic, people wouldnt need to create similiar posts to ask because they will see them right away.

I was never so wrong.

don't have any. They're useless

I use avast. They have the best forum support of any anti-virus company I have ever seen. They actually walk you through solving your problems.

With that said, all free A/V hare useless as you have to run them manually every day. They don't work automatically.

The best anti-virus is to get a program like Ad-Block running in your browser, and not to run any untrusted executable code. If you have to go to a risky website do it in a virtual machine. Once you have a virus installed, it's pretty hard to get rid of. I've found anti-virus software to be mostly useless.

This is awful advice. If you value what's on your computer, and your identity online, pay for decent bloody antivirus software.

Microsoft's 'securitiy essentials' is not a bad antivirus software. You should be able to get it when you have a legit windows version.

Everyone looking for good anti-virus, look up advanced systemcare ultimate, it does a hell of a lot more than just anti-virus, plus a lot of programmers trust it

Avast just spams the hell out of my computer and slows it down a lot

Yes, it does spam you to buy more stuff even when you buy the supposed complete edition. I posted comments in their forums and the response was just disable it in settings.

I notice zero slowdowns. I don't know what kind of system you run that would have any impact on performance?

But in general, no one write old virus. They write new ones that are undetectable. I've tried tham all and none of they are 100%. That are all the same. Every single times I've had a virus I had to manually scan to find it. It never found it on its own once. A few times I got warnings one was attempting to install, but none have found it after the fact. I just notice slow downs and manually run, then it finds it while manually scanning. Then I find they've been on my system for months.

I don't even trust them at this point to even remove everything. I just reinstall windows from scratch as every time I trust the program to have removed everything, I get reinfected within the month and I'm very careful for that first month, so I know I didn't egt anything new. There was a hidden one that activated itself.

It's horrible. If I want secure browsing, I always use *nix or maybe Mac. I've never had a virus on either one for over 30 years. Although it hasn't even been a big issue since 20-years ago. MS didn't even has any protection until about 15-years ago.

Never trust Microsoft a/v. Anything made by MS. It is the first thing attacked by hackers as they know people think MS is the most secure. lol

But when you get a virus, the best place to get it completely removed (or as completely as possible) go to the Viruses and Worms section of the Avast forums. They are many people educated on virus removal with many tools. Way better than and A/V package you can buy. A lot of the time they'll recommend reinstall. Malware is very smart and can hide within Windows itself.

None of them are 100% of course but advanced systemcare has by far the best database iv seen. Plus my system is one of the latest (Go to my profile to see all the specs)
