People found a virus in every attempt of an update so far, they'll find 1 in yours too

My Windows system which uses Avira anti-virus, one of the best, found no problems with the update! (y) I would be interested if it generates a false positive because it uses a slightly different and older compression algorithm (ZIP) than the one causing the trouble (7-ZIP). The update was built from files downloaded directly from NLT Media's own private server and selected by a bespoke application that I wrote using Lazarus and Free Pascal which didn't alter them. I have installed it on my computers and it works perfectly.

My bet is that Windows Defender is generating a false positive virus-wise due to the way files are archived, in this particular case, and that archived differently the same files wouldn't trigger alerts. Is it only Windows Defender that's bitching or are other commercial anti-virus solutions having a strop as well? Easy to see. Just download my update and scan it with your anti-virus and you will know. Gotta say I am a little curious. If all is well using a different archive format for updates in future, e.g., RAR, should allow them to pass muster with Windows Defender all the time. It's hard to imagine that JavaScript code dependent on NW.js to run could do much (or any) harm anyway but no alerts from anti-virus would save people from worrying needlessly.

If you compress files, it's something that some virus/trojans did. So when we want to obfuscate compiled sources, when we give out software, it often triggers a false positive with a lot of office scan's. It really sucks.

Yep. Although open source I really don't like 7-ZIP much and remember a security scare with it, last year in fact, when it was discovered that hackers could use it to gain administrative privileges on a Windows system and execute malicious code. :mad: Like I said my update was made using a bespoke program which employed a different compression algorithm than the one posted here, using files downloaded directly from NLT Media servers, and it didn't ring alarm bells on my Windows box secured by a first class commercial anti-virus. (I also scanned it manually.) I was wondering hence whether this update would be recognized as safe by other players using different anti-viruses or not. Not a biggy as far as I am concerned anyway because - I USE LINUX! :)

Asking for ~3 months old stuff when most people can't even update the last leak we got a week ago. Keep on going thread
