potential virus when installing tera?

[Ash]

Umm...not too sure if its only me who had this.

But when installing tera, my antivirus blocks part of it due to it being a virus

just wanting to see if anyone else had this issue aswell

I haven't had the issue myself, but I heard others have. Try putting the tera installer/launcher on your antivirus's allowed applications.

Yes, this happened to me too and I don't remember exactly what the virus was. I didnt realize it was from the TERA download so I let AVG remove it. Now I can't open TERA... It opened the launcher once but when I'd press play it would give me an error. Now it says it needs to update but when I let it update it's giving me a disk write error...... So, I guess I will redownload this piece of ♥♥♥♥ game and tell AVG to stfu and let me download my game -.- ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Annoying Indeed.

Can't you just verify the integrity of the game cache through steam?

Why I no longer use AVG. Once they released AVG 6 way back when whenever I installed a game it would ding it as a virus.

I tried that, it didnt work. I uninstalled the game just now and now it's not letting me redownload it, it says there's not enough space on my harddrive even though there is. -........- Gonna check for disk errors I guess :/

I have never had a problem until i decided to uninstall Tera and reinstall it with steam

[Ash]

yea im using avg, but yea! its downloading now i put an exception in. Had to remove it from the virus vault to get it to reinstall though.

for those with avg still having issues

[ROXIEPARADOX | TWITCH.TV]

Is this the "virus" you guys are getting notified about aswell? Win32/Heur

I did a disk error check and now it's letting me redownload. So, in 26316538215387 hours I'll be able to see if I can play this game finally. :D

Yeah, reading through some of the posts on here and I'm starting to realize Tera does not like steam, AT ALL. LOL Lots of issues coming up for people >.<

[Ash]

Hey all,

AVG and several other antivirus programs have been giving out false positives to some players recently. If you downloaded through Steam or the official TERA website you have a safe file though it never hurts to be cautious when it comes to computer viruses.

You can review the steps to address whitelisting the TERA.exe on our forums: {LINK REMOVED}http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/Access-Invalid-Game-Execution-Failure-Virus-Detected-in-TERAexe-134579

Hopefully this will help!

^^ Thanks Harmonia. Hopefully it will download correctly this time so I can move on to the other 12361386137 errors people are getting when trying to launch TERA through steam. hehe ^.^

I disable avg for 10 minutes before each time I start Tera. I have a few other securities so not worried for that 10 minutes and it works.

I did have to do a repair to get that file error fixed though, if anyone is getting it too.

[adderall smoker]

The file is EMEDiag, and despite changing the security for it numerous times, I cannot delete/replace that file! I have even tried super admin... any help?
