Out of curiosity,
I've downloaded a few games recently. This is the second one from Mixdrop that I have
received a virus warning on.
.......That is on Mixdrop's side, right?
Anyone else w this issue lately?
Thx
Cheers
I'm using bitdefender.
My browser (Firefox) flagged the download today from MixDrop. Said the file contains malware.
UPDATE:
I ran a scan on the zip file and my virus scanner didn't find any threats. Extracted the zip contents and ran a scan on the extracted files. The file libpython2.7 in the py2-windows-i686 directory was flagged as a possible threat (status reported: PUA.Win.Packer.Pequake-4 ).
I have the same library file from other games I've downloaded in the past, and when I scanned that file it came up with the same threat flagged in the other instances, so my gut says it's a false positive.
But that's just my opinion. Proceed at your own risk.
I'm running a Linux OS so I don't think it will be a problem for me. If I was running a Win OS installation, I'd do a lot more scanning and research before proceeding with caution, or I might not proceed at all.
