Virus on Tiller game?

I have seen this a couple of times over the years & it is a false positive. It can be safely ignored, the AV software tweaked and you can play.

By the way, it's been a while since I've used Windows but I was always of the opinion that the built-in protection (Essentials?) was good enough.  Commercial virus scanners cause more problems than they solve in my opinion.

Sadly, based on real-world benchmarks Windows Essentials which used to be quite good is these days at the absolute rock-bottom in terms of protection. Fortunately there are good, free AV programs available like Bitdefender for folks who would rather not shell out for other AV solutions.

TYVM Rich at HPS, and all the members here for their input.  Looks like I have a game to play! :) ;) O0

Several websites (e.g. VirusTotal, Metascan) let you upload a file and then check it against multiple antivirus engines. That's what I use to reassure myself that an alert is likely a false positive.

Interesting, I didn't know sites like that existed. Thanks!

Yeah, I've also had good experience with Panda, AVG, and Avast's free software in the last few years.  I don't think I've paid for an AV service in half a decade or so, although I always keep a free copy of something running.
