alcotallen 0 Posted July 24, 2015 HelloSo i've decided to come back to the amazing world that is DayZ Mod. :D But i have a problem, my antivirus detects a malware generator inside the .exe file from the launcher. Has anyone else had this problem? I can remove it from quarantin but i just want to get some confirmation that its safe first.Sorry if i've posted in wrong forum.The "virus" message says the following:HEUR/QVM06.1.Malware.Gen//Jarmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmberHelios 2071 Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Ive answered your pm but for others the launcher contains no malicious code, its safe to use. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/323da04bdbfc9ccdb4fa64e17e499fa66bfe3cd04e8514e2a334fb7854f43da8/analysis/1437750088/ the HEUR means heuristic detection its quite funny when you look at the avg detection for heuristic it quite often finds its own temporary files and deletes them as malicious code. most Win32/Heur are false positives if you do any development of object based languages to compile applications 9 times out of ten it will show up as a virus as its unknown code.an actual scan of the file records in no viruses http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/ww-en/virus-and-malware-information/content/win32-heur/ Edited July 24, 2015 by AmberHelios added link for the threat name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
