GLOBAL *AVAST* WARING

[ILOCOS_NORTE]

Seems like the antivirus software AVAST (free) makes short work with lots of *.exe files !!!
If your AVAST detects war3.exe as malware, dont be starry-eyed like me and trust AVAST !!!

AVAST BECAME A TRUELY SHIT PROGRAMM, IT DELEATED ABOUT 10 *.EXE FILES.

(Depending on your AVAST settings, you can restore the exe.files from your container)

Yeah had the same problem, my war3.exe wents directly to the container .....

[MarshMallows]

MY friend just had his Avast delete wc3... shitty

[ispamcolts]

Yeah it wasn't the most fun thing trying to figure it out. What folder does Avast store contained files in? And is it accessible through explorer or do I have to navigate to it and restore the file via Avast?

First thing, you should never have your anti-virus configured to auto-delete anything; just put the files in the container.
Secondly, avast - among few others - has the reputation for aggressively flagging false positives.

With that said, dunno why this is a LIHL sticky.

avast is fine for those wanting a free antivirus.
check your heuristic settings and make sure its default.
its the setting for sensitivity basically.
if the heuristic is fine, drop an email to avast, there might be a recent war3.exe actual malware spread.

i double checked avast from a reliable source, false positive is below market average which is good.

i recommend buying norton internet security or kaspersky internet security.
during back to school or xmas its dirst cheap like $20 bucks for 3 users 1 year licence.
never dl an av program from the likes of piratebay

Norton is trash, Kaspersky is better

[RadiantCrystal]

I second Marsh's option, though malwarebytes isn't bad for a free software

Its a LIHL sticky cuz I wanted to warn my LIHL buddies of AVAST and make sure they read it (They would'nt if id posted in other forums). It's only logical
