Continuum "virus"

[deadonarrival]

Download Threatfire - it's an antivirus software. When running continuum its fine, but when I try to go out o spectate, it tells me there's a virus in continuum.exe

 

Obviously there isn't (or someone would long since have been in my bank details) but this is clearly an issue

Packed / PeX ... that sounds like what Priitk used to pack / compress / encrypt the exe data of Continuum.exe. It probably is scrambling some memory or something when you get in a ship (anti-cheat feature), and your AV probably detects that as a threat.

 

AV's messing with Continuum isn't new though.

 

With a bit of luck, you can just add it in the exceptions and it won't complain anymore. But I'm pretty sure that doesn't work for some other AV's messing with continuum; though they don't pop up an explicit warning like yours did, they just mess with the process and it gets stopped/restarted infinitely.

I can't find any way to make an exception.

 

And fair enough, I guessed it was legit (I've used CTM long enough to trust it by now) - I was just more concerned that it was stopping people playing.

 

Edit: Found a way to add it to "trusted processes" - if I don't edit this again, I've got it working

 

Edit2: Nope, still crashing - btw that error is the quarantine. The actual error is even more grouchy...

One day, Priitk will activate his Trojan, and take over thousands of computers...

Wasn't it you that found something similar Sama?

 

I remember someone else making a post about their Anti-Virus finding Continuum to be a virus.

[»doc flabby]
