Harmful attatchments in the FH download?
« on: August 24, 2012, 03:37:52 am »
Hi guys! Brand new, and I'm looking forward to playing. My only issue is that when I downloaded FH, there was a pop-up that said there may possibly be files in the folder I was downloading that could hurt my computer. I understand that some anti-virus protectors don't like .exe files, but I've downloaded .exe files before and have never had that issue before.

Downloaded on: UTorrent (which is where the pop-up came from)
Virus-Proection: Avast!

Sometimes Anti-Viruses can give false positives, First Re-download to make sure it wasnt something that came with the site downloaded from, Then If that doesnt work just run it, Because it could be a False Positive.

Yeah that happened to me just the other day when I was downloading Feral City... I kept getting these scary beware this might be a dangerous download messages lol. It didn't allow me to download up until I temporarily shut my SmartScreen Filter off. The computer's just like to scare people... but the precautions are important.

Yes like everyone else said, it is probably lying. Same thing happened to me with feral city Suragaha ^^ but I knew that tons of people download it so just ignored it... I don't know why but the stupid things like to lie x.x
