Hello there

Did you download it from a safe source?

The original prog is fine.

I just ran my dayzcommander.exe through these two multi-engine scanners, which include AVG:

http://r.virscan.org...5c4029770d.html

...and no viruses were found.

It's entierly possible you've downloaded your DayZCommander from an unofficial source and it actually is infected with a trojan...

Or that you've downloaded some other DayZ tool, which decided to infect DayZCommander specificially...

Or that it's a false positive...

I always download DayZ commander from the official website. Every now and again, Norton 360 (I know... I know) will suddenly decide it's a virus and delete it post haste.

I've been getting this as well, I have downloaded it from the actual site as far as I'm aware so I'm leaning towards a false positive.

The only virus warning i have gotten in relation to DayZ is when BeClient wants to update itself, saying it's a generic downloader trojan.

Obviously that is a false positive too.

Just send the file to be examined by whatever virus scanning companies you trust. They will tell you the whole story.

...and yes, false positive. Be sure to download from the source here on forums.

I use AVG and I never had that 'false positive'. As others have said, make sure you download from a legit source.
