Malware when trying to download the game?

[Elysian]

So I just bought the game. Everything went fine, payment, I received the email to download the game. But my anti-virus keeps blocking me from downloading because it detects a: Gen:Variant.Razy.317373. The url itself is save but has the site been infected? I can't download the game untill it is safe... I hope one of the devs sees this and looks into it. Other people with the same issue?

Edit: It was my anti-virus going haywire, no malware in the game for those who are wondering :) The devs gave me the game through other means, so I'm able to play now ^^

You sure it isn't a false postive?

I can't really check without disabling my anti-virus and risking getting infected .. Or at least I don't know how I would check

[Alexandra Lorular]

True, I just know that tends to happen a lot, depending on the antivirus you use, so wanted to toss out the idea.

Y, I know :) That's why I hope one of the devs might notice and check or something (I wouldn't know). Or to see if other people get blocked. I use Bitdefender and it hasn't ever given me problems so I'm kind of reserved to take the risk :/

I just purchased, downloaded and installed the game. No flags with Malwarebytes.
I dare say it's just a false positive.

I got a false positive on one of the updates I did to the game. It was weird because it didn't happen the first time I installed. Didn't happen the first time I update or the third. Yet the 2nd time I update Avast flagging this game as a possible virus. I knew/had faith it was a false positive and ignored. Since (if) you downloaded from Humblebundle assume it's a false positive. If you got through other means, take the risk or not and good luck ;)

Thank you for the responses! I also emailed the support so I'm gonna wait for the reply, but if you didn't have any problems then it's probably a false positive :)

Litterally just bought the game myself and haven't had an issue with my anti virus either, again good luck.

Your anti-virus is likely what is infected to throw false positives up.

The game itself isn't infected with a virus, so it's likely you downloading the files onto your storage that gets it infected.

I got a zip-file from the devs via email and now I have the game :) It was indeed my anti-virus going haywire. I'm very excited I can play now :) Thank you guys for the quick replies ^^

[Alexandra Lorular]

Glad to hear it, and goodluck!

I just ordered the game myself and had the same BitDefender virus alert. I sent an e-mail to support and am hoping they send me a clean file. ^^ I'd rather be safe than sorry.

They send me a zip-file through e-mail that didn't trigger my anti-virus :) They'll probably do that to you too ^^

[Caretaker]

I was hoping they'd send it before I finish work but that was wishful thinking. I guess they're also in another timezone. I am tempted to disable my anti-virus.. ^^

Damn, I don't even know how to turn off the relevant function to allow downloading it...

to be fair plenty of us are playing now :P
