We’re seeing some reports that ‘exefile.exe’ is being incorrectly flagged by anti-virus applications such as Avast and Norton.
We are reaching out to Norton and Avast to ensure that the flags are resolved and encourage any player who is encountering this to also contact their anti-virus vendor.
The only time I got a real bad virus was running Avast.
I’ve been using Windows own antivirus and real-time protection now for over 10 years and never got a virus.
EVE is now happily running on my machine, no alert, no warning no nothing
No, we encourage you to contact your security vendor and provide them with all details on the issue you have.
You submit the file that is flagged to your security vendor.
We can’t explain why your security vendor is flagging the file. All scanners used by VirusTotal came up empty-handed: VirusTotal analysis of exefile.exe
I fail to see how this question is relevant or professional.
I would need a reason to believe its a false positive. You have not supplied any.
EDIT If they refuse to tell you anything, then tell us that. Tell us what changes are in that made it start get detected, these kind of things.
Right now the Eve Launcher is packed with trackers etc from Google, and one point we couldn’t even enter the game if we used DNS blocking to prevent our computer from accessing well known tracking servers. I have every reason to believe you imported a new library that gets detected, and no reason to believe your code is safe to have on a computer.
Know that it exists. Also knows that it is useless and extremely dangerous, telling you things tht cna in fact be the direct opposite of what the input says.
Before you fix anything for me, you ought to try and fix your little problem you posted about.
How’s that going for you? Is it fixed?
Gee I wonder why.
I use Aura and it is currently acting like the “F:\EVE Online\tq\bin64\exefile.exe” is a virus and keeps quarantining it. I can’t figure out how to add it to the exclusions list due to the file’s location on my computer and every time I try to open the game it automatically closes so I can’t play. Could someone please fix this? I have already uploaded a bug report as well.
