| 1273194 | 2012-05-02 04:47:00 | Hi All I downloaded superoneclick today, and it appears Avira Free Antivirus has taken a disliking to it. As I'm sure it's not a virus, how do I get Avira to ignore this one program Thanks |

| 1273196 | 2012-05-02 05:36:00 | Seems the ant-virus companies have taken upon themselves to label all kinds of things as malicious because they have potentially dodgy uses. Things like No-CD patches and keygens for example are usually flagged up despite posing no threat to your system. Possibly they are a source of actual malicious software on some occasions as well but I'm not sure that explains the false positives. I often used to crack my own legitimate games so I didn't need the CD to play, those crack files came up in all kinds of anti-virus and anti-spyware scans when I still had them. | dugimodo (138) | ||

Why else would they put, sometimes a single install key inside an executable, rather than a txt file. I doubt keygen's actually 'generate' keys, Id guess they just spit them out from a small list. not that Ive ever used a keygen myself of course :lol: :lol: :lol: And yes, In the distant past, games I'd bought would sometimes run alot better once cracked . |

As I'm sure it's not a virus, how do I get Avira to ignore this one program Open Avira's configuration, go to System Scanner -> Scan -> Exceptions. Add an exception for your program. Repeat the same steps for Guard as well. Sorry don't have Avira in front of me to get these exactly right - copied & adjusted them from the Avira forum :) |

You can usually mash the button to spit out keys to your hearts content without seeing dupes. And yes, In the distant past, games I'd bought would sometimes run alot better once cracked. Thats still the case today with a lot of games requiring always-on internet and various other forms of DRM. |

It's often because of the way the exes have been packaged. I get it with some friends code he wrote for me.....it didn't used to get flagged, last year it has. |
