Virus report from Terrain downloads
« on: December 25, 2009, 07:41:26 PM »
These 2 downloads report a win32trojan worm embedded in them. I use avast anti virus and these are the only 2 that gave a positive.

False Positive

Avast has that problem alot.........

check the Avast Message Forums and you'll see that there is alot of valid programs/files that triggers these false positives thru Avast......

there is nothing wrong with the linked files from hitech creations download site......

just saying

edit: your full description reports are not linked, is linking back to the downloaded terrain itself......
