Virus warning when launching CF

I think I'm going eye defective or I just saw Norton as No4 Guess there's really no room for interpretation when people see just a list and not results.

Norton as an AV is good.....does the job but SLOWS your pc down way to much as for results click on the link its all explained there:)

Ok ok. I just remembered a few occasions (at least 5) where it made my windows stop working and 3 where it deleted a few crucial game files

Like i already said no AV program is fool proof and all AV programs have the potential to remove needed files not 1 AV prog out there is perfect...... Im sure if Kaspersky came across a file that it didnt recognise or operated outside its rules it would also remove files..... its down to the user to make sure that the AV program is actually removing somthing harmfull or not..... for example most AV programs pick up No CD/DVD and EXE cracks as Trojan droppers which maybe what Avira is doing with CF as the mod must have written in it a no CD crack or somthing similar:) Antivirus programs a purely a guide not a cure .... if you want to be 100% safe get to know your OS and Files ..... allways investigate what file your AV is trying to remove ..... never download from P2P or Torrent or anything similar.... allways get your downloads from safe Trusted zone and never download copied cracked games.

If you do use torrents or P2P never download a Zipped/Rar file as your AV will not detect it until the virus is already downloaded onto your pc.

As a rule most Viruses are harmless and will not damage your pc ...... some will do nothing at all and some will slow down your pc .... the harmfull Viruses are the ones that find there way into your system 32 file then its time to hit the format button and reinstall.

Here is somthing that will blow some peoples minds ..... AV programs are actually viruses themselves

What is a Virus?

A Virus is a small program that embeds itself into other programs. When those other programs are executed, the virus is also executed, and attempts to copy itself into more programs. In this way, it spreads in a manner similar to a biological virus.
viruses, by definition, can "infect" any executable code. Accordingly, they are found on floppy and hard disk boot sectors, executable programs, macro languages and executable electronic mail attachments.

viruses can be found using a Virus Scanner or a Virus Wall. Some software products are also available to remove them with a minimum of harm to the "infected" files.

Some viruses are self-modifying, in order to make detection more difficult. Such viruses are called polymorphic (many shapes).

Wow and here I thought that my headache was finally gone. Well them being viruses themselves they seem to solve a lot of problems :D, the A-V that is. Oh and the magic word: Trusted zone Anyway do not let any stupid A-V impead your stay on CrossFire Hope to see you in space.

Thanks Slayer for pointing towards my mistake I'm really dizzy, fatigued, I've got a nausia, headaches...

hmmmm did you mean Space Jack?

If you want to be protected... that's the program

still this sentence after all those posts above?

i say: if u want to be protected against i-net troubles, then go offline^^

I'm with Haegar the best way not to aquire viruses from the internet is to pull the cable or see one of his net protection pictures *The one with the condom :P* but hey some people are more pleased by the performance of one A-V while others by another A-V. Guess it's all down to a matter of taste

Norton AV uses the "burning down the house" tactic.
What is that?
Its when you want to get rid of your cat... and burn down your house. -> Mission successful.

In Nortons case the AV makes it impossible for any kind of software to run correctly... including the virus.

big ROFL!

Huge ROFLOLZOMZORGLMFAO

yep, thats the commander norton strategy... btw, panda also uses that tactic...

When I install the mod, I have 11 virus warnings from antivir! (I tried with avast and that was the same)
And it does'nt seems to be said that it's a unknown virus.
It says those are trojans.
I downloaded it on http://www.moddb.com/.
Are you sure that those warnings are false positive results? Or maybe my version of the mod is corrupted
?
(I hope you undestood what I wrote because my english isnt very good)
