Gather unknown signals from deep, silent space · By mrdrnose

it is normal that suddenly my antivirus detects the game as malware?

Sorry for bad english but I started playing this game 2 days ago and suddenly the antivirus (Avast) tells me that the game has virus and put it into quarantine (this post is too silly)

that is strange, it is normal for the original zipped file to give a false positive but it shouldn't randomly say it's a virus, especially not after 2 days of use
I don't know how avast works but does it tell you what type of virus it thinks it is and does it give you the option to ignore it?

It says IDP.Generic and yes I can restore the .exe

IDP.Generic is a common false positive, it's suspicious of it but has no evidence for why beyond it not behaving how it likes, so that's good

googling it you should be able to right click the offending program in avast and hit "restore and add to exclusions" so just do that if it's giving you trouble, weird that it happened. I suppose it is a a pre-alpha with only one person coding lol

Thanks for the help, I'll keep playing, maybe just the antivirus didn't check out that memory space or something, I really dunno :)

Other thing, the zipped file didn't gave me a false positive when I extracted it
