Virus??

If I open AC AVG Antivirus detects general behavior blablablabla is this natural?

[RandumKiwi]

No, Microsoft Windows isn't natural.

Give us more information about the warning, and I'll be more informative ;)

[X-Ray_Dog]

Depends. Did you get it from assaultcube.myverizon33.xpronz.it or did you get it from http://assault.cubers.net/download.html?

It matters.

First, start to type what you replaced with "blablablabla". From there, the people that haves the patience to walk you thru every single step (as in your other thread) will be able to help you.

No, Microsoft Windows isn't natural.

AC linux bug due to gcc -O3 isn't natural ;)

It what it's called "false positive"

Your anti-virus will detect and intercept all programs which want uses the net. Don't worry about that. I think you can set a rule on you anti-virus and/or firewall to set AC as... dependable?

[MarcClint21]

there

[jamz]

As has been said, this is a false positive. The best thing you can do is uninstall AVG, which is awful compared to what it was many years ago. If you must have AV, try Avast, Avira, Bitdefender or Panda Cloud, all of which are reported to be better than AVG.

The question is not about computer viruses.
Current antivirus programs try to predict what a virus will do. So they protect you.
Your sntivirus is saying that AC is accessing "files" of your system. And this is true.
Your antivirus is saying that AC is accessing your internet. And this is true.
Your antivirus is correct. It (ty hgf-arg) is a great antivirus.
My recommendation is that you increase the security of your computer with a firewall.
I recommend Zone Alarm.
Do not replace antivirus because of a game.
* Important: Panda antivirus will use your internet too and it may crash Windows eventually.

To know exactly what kind of information the AC collects from your computer, please see the code and analyze traffic network .

To have more control over your computer, install "Spybot - Search & Destroy".

English ... :)

I remember those days, when I used to run windows and have AVG.

Ah, those weren't the days.

<3 Linux.

[MPx]

I know is old but..

and the guy tried to sell a copy to Linus Torvalds.

"No thanks, I have my own OS."

lol

EDIT

[hgf-arg]

He is a great antivirus.

When you talk about 'something' you have to put 'It' not 'he'. Just my two cents, not trolling.

@MarcClint21 : All AV can be configured to ignore any program you trust, AssaultCube is not a virus, so you can put it in the ignore list of AVG, if you're going to keep using it.

Anti-virus on windows?

How sheep are you?

<3 Linux.

I remember those days, when I used to run Ubuntu and Debian and use default repositories.

Ah, those weren't the days.

<3 Arch.

omg guys he protects himself from malware lol what a sheep amirite baa baa

Hey guess what, driveby downloads don't care how much of a badass you are on the internet, but good luck with that scheme

<3 Arch.

I remember those days, when I used to run Arch and use binary packages.

Ah, those weren't the days.

<3 Gentoo.




Nah I still run Arch though. :>

[Boomhauer]

this guy and his questions, lol...

i feel like he is a lumberjack dancing ballet.

Mr. Clint... you are out of your depth, find a friend irl that can teach you everything from how to walk to super-basic computer stuff, and save everyone on the forum some time.

If windows isnt open source then why should i waste my tiime protecting nsa backdoored spyware os with spy/scam/scareware?

and besides there more efficient ways to rotect your windows gaming pc with just adblocks and looking at the url before you click or d/l anything...

but then again, i assume people smart enough use windows for games and gnu/bsd for everything else.

[MarcClint21]

last post look at this if in morning the ping is


and in the afternoon i see this

How do you know linux doesn't have a NSA backdoor? When was the last time you looked through the kernel source code? What about your distributions? Do you know how each part of your operating system works? Stop spreading FUD.

Adblocks and paying attention to the URL isn't everything. DNS Hijacking? I had that happen to be with spybot before.

How fast do you think URL redirect works? Or do you not trust the people who write your browser plugins to detect that?

Do you know why a trojan horse is called a trojan horse? A trojan horse masquerades as something you'd /want/ to download but is actually malware. How do you suppose you're going to stop that with "adblockers and looking at URLs"?

And don't you assume linux is perfect.

Do you remember this? http://www.securityweek.com/ssh-backdoor...x-rootkits

In, I think, the 3.2 version of the kernel buried somewhere inside there is a comment similar to "THIS IS BADLY WRITTEN".

Don't assume GNU/BSD is perfect. Did you know OS X is based on FreeBSD, among other things? Check this out: http://macscan.securemac.com/spyware-list

I don't really know what you against Windows.

[TheNihilanth]

This is why I play AC inside a VM, there are plenty of potential exploits in AC that make me cringe.

Dat lag.

[Flames]

2014- The year of Linux !

Why does every thread about viruses in almost every forum turns out to be about Linux vs Windows? :D

[jamz]

I'd just like to say, as someone who uses both operating systems, and understands the benefits and annoyances of each, there are no viruses in the official download of AC. Thank you.

[Orynge]

^ that's something the virus distributors would say

[Undead]

if there are no viruses in AC, how do you know about every aspect of our lives? that's how you catch the cheaters right?

[Luc@s]

There is nothing like that in AC. Your lives are pretty boring actually and we are not curious about them.

[#M|A#Wolf]

Your lives are pretty boring actually

THERE IS VIRUS. THEY KNOW.

[Boomhauer]

People still use anti-virus?

[Mousikos]

People still use anti-virus?

Yes.

[Krayce]

It's a false positive since always, you have just to allow your firewall to launch this "exe"cutable manually.
And about anti-virus, they need very much ressource above all... it's not necessary for old computers.
