Hi all.
This does appear to be a false positive of course -they do happen from time to time- but we'll investigate what's happening here.
Thanks for the posts.
What you are referring to will trigger a compilation error on compiled language, and an exception on interpreted language, which has nothing to do with what we are experiencing.
There is two ways to trigger an antivirus:
- Behave like a malware. The heuristical analysis engine of the antivirus, scan running softwares and spy their behaviour, if something is suspicious, it is
classified as a malware/virus.
- Look like a kown virus, by having the same signature. Because some virus can be recognized by the footprint (repeated patterns in the executable).
The last patch trigger AVG either because it behave like a malware, or because it has a virus signature. The worst case can be that Respawn have been hacked, and
a malware has been injected into the game. So being doubtful about it is totally justified.
yeah thats not how code works when you mess up your parentheses the code doesnt compile and nothing works. that can be a huge pain in the a**.(looking at you scheme(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language) ))
far more likely that they used code which can be used for nefarious purposes as well, what they use it for might not be bad but it might still circumvent your computers security in an unintended way.
