openra.game.exe Malware detected
Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 3:33 pm
So, does someone want to explain to me why my AV is detecting Malware signatures all over this build? (OpenRA-20110109)
The problems with Norton AV have been discussed here: http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... 82&t=14863. The problem is caused by our synchronization checking code, which uses dynamic code generation to be as efficient as possible. Unfortunately this technique can be used for more sinister purposes by malware authors, which makes antivirus heuristics overly suspicious of such code.
If you're feeling technical, you can pull a copy of the source code from, https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/, verify for yourself that there is no malware within, and build your own copy from that source
