ADWARE/Adware.Gen7
Hi guys,

I can not install the game because my antivirus Avira finds this file and classifies it as a trojan. Some idea?

Really? You are a genius! Have you already won a Nobel?

I was hoping to figure out why an antivurus found a trojan in Phantom Doctrine and instead: "Turn of your AV".

How did I not think about it alone?

When I get the car out of gas and turn on the light, I'll keep your advice in mind and unscrew the light bulb that signals it.

Genius!

Thank you! no i haven't won the Noble price yet, still waiting... :/ any day now.


As for the virus alert, i think there was a couple of threads about it already on the forum.
It's a false alarm. There's nothing to worry about.

Also, your AV, Avira, it's an absolute total horse-♥♥♥♥♥. Use kaspersky instead, or better yet, research and find what's best for you, based on what you do.

All the best!

Genius!

Lots of AV programs have "false positives" like the one you experienced. A few years ago i tried out Avast but dropped it because i read that it had a problem with false positives. Programs that were not actually malicious were being flagged by Avast as malware/trojan/spyware/whatever.

Congrautlations. Your antivirus software is working properly, and has most likely found spyware/rootkit/malware embedded in this game.
