Author Topic: Blockland dectected as a threat?  (Read 1050 times)

Ok, so my avast anti virus just deleted my blockland thinking its a threat, how did this happen? .-.

you probably have an add on with a backdoor in it (a trojan ; virus)
look into your recently installed add ons and look for any fishy files

what, no
add-ons have no such possibility and backdoors, trojans and viruses cannot execute inside a .zip, nor can torque even execute stuff like that anyway. I'm also quite sure it's not possible for the antivirus to even detect a trojan inside of a .zip. The worst an add-on virus can do is edit blockland's folders.
avast is probably detecting blockland as a threat because it connects to the internet, avast is known to be a stuff antivirus anyway

He's talking about an add on that has a executable that can be infected.

Most anti-virus programs detect false positives, which is why I never download them, not just the only reason, these programs want to work better if you pay for them, some can ruin performance (avg consumed my RAM somehow), or maybe even do damage to the computer. So I stick with default computer anti virus stuff.

Most stuffty anti-viruses just detect applications that haven't paid their ransom.

Ok, I just reinstalled blockland and it works, thank you.
Also, should I lock this thread?

yeah once i was starting up block land then a window appears blockland  is a threat i was so confused

Blockland is not a threat at all, some antivirus's can mistake a lot of Games/Programs for a peice of malware or virus.
