Trojan detected when running LotC (19-21) patch (False Alarm)

Post by Radiofloyd »

I attempted to unzip the file containing the patch, but my Avast! 4.8 antivirus software alerted me to malware or a trojan within the file.

I've had no problems with any other LotC files, just the patch for missions 19-21.

Has anybody else encountered this problem? I just downloaded the file today.

you need to report this on the avast forums. For a while now, they've been registering thundergraft code as malware. Someone needs to go over there and tell them to fix it.

Correct- Avast isn't very reliable with StarCraft mods as has been noticed.

All right then. I thought it was a little strange that only the patch would be infected. Glad to know there are no problems.

Thanks.

My thing detected Avast as a trojan. I just got a different virus thing. All the mods work fine.

what? I never asked for a topic to stickied before in my entire life, not on this forum or on any other forum. This is the first time.
