Title: AdWare Alert on the HiRes Pack?
Post by: Warspawn on December 02, 2009, 09:25:56 PM: Has anyone else run the HiRes version update from the main page and gotten an adware alert? My Avast popped up with Win32:Adware-gen[ADW] VPS version 091203-0 in file: http://downloads1.hitechcreations.com/AHHIRES2170.EXE\[Embedded_R#0001280]

I know the software is safe; just wondered if anyone else saw this as they were updating, thanks! Going to report it as a false positive...

But can you really trust somebody named "Skuzzy"? Clean and safe and skuzzy aren't exactly things that go together... Just saying... :D

Yep, same here. I figure if I trust HTC with my credit card and their coad in my 'puter, I can trust them with a hires graphic pack. :aok

Strange occurrence though... it said Scuzzy is a righteous dude.

Post by: Warspawn on December 02, 2009, 11:18:11 PM: Yah, figured it was safe. Getting an I/O error though now when I save and try to install it. Get's about halfway and an abort/retry option pops up. Can't get past it...

Try running it instead of download and run... worked for me

Post by: Warspawn on December 03, 2009, 01:10:55 AM: Okie dokie, gonna try that now and see if I can get it running. Avast is off, running from the homepage...

Post by: Casca on December 03, 2009, 01:40:00 PM: Avast pushed a problem database update two days ago that was hosing a bunch of stuff with false positives. That might be the problem. They claim to have it corrected in the update yesterday.
