GAME UNSAFE???

[Foxy_Drakaina]

I love this game, it's so much fun, but now i can't open the game, because my antivirus detects multible viruses within the game file and deletes the game as soon as i try to open it!

Is this game not safe anymore ?? or is my antivirus picking something else up on the new update that makes it all weird ?

Even if i validate the files on steam my AntiVirus goes full out red alert on the game, wtf ??

Everything on steam is closely monitored and 100% guaranteed not to contain a virus when you download it (or other damaging malware, only spyware is allowed in some games/softwares), so either a) Your computer has catched a virus from other sources and the malvare has now spread across your computers files or
b) False alarm from your anti-virus software. What anti-virus program are you using, and does it specifically say that it has detected a virus (or similar) within the folder for TABS?

lol, what am i using, what about buying me dinner first ;) let's just say it's not cheap and well known to be the most effective out there

the so called "virus" is only within the game files of TABS, and tabs is being deleted everytime i try and open it because of "red Alert" on the anti virus.

Well you could always make your mysterious anti-virus program to completely ignore the TABS folder. Though maybe not the best option if it actually is a real virus and not a false report.

I also find it odd that your anti-virus software just completely deletes the contaminated files instead of putting them in "quarantine" / removing only the malware itself.

I suppose you have also tried completely deinstalling and reinstalling TABS through the steam client itself, in case that would fix the issue?

In that case I cant provide anymore help. Maybe some other person with more knowledge of malwares can help.

I'm pretty sure this is reported in the bug list. You will just have to make an exception in your anti-virus I think.

Hello! Please make an exception to the anti-virus program. It's giving you a false positive since we're not a known developer. We could start sending in every patch for review to each anti-virus software program but that would delay our updates each time up to 3 weeks, including every small patch we make.

thank you for your quick response
