EX: (And I am no software dev). Say the correct code in one part of the file is {(CODE)}...... The dev can easily have made a mistake and put {(CODE))...... And the file could still possible work correctly with no issue.. ... But then the Anti virus software might have scanned it and saw it being off... then flagged it as a possible virus or Malware,
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.
