FLSDCT Link Has A Virus

K, that last problem is solved now, too, no Antivirus is reacting on FLSDCT any more as far as we could test it.

It was not caused by that “download to memory - command” I believed first but by a routine searching the registry to find Freelancer.exe’s location and if it’s not there (for exapmle when you got a copied instead of an installed version of Freelancer) it opens a window and asks you to locate Freelancer.exe manually. Not to have to do it again and again every time you start FLSDCT, it created the Freelancer-entry to registry. This was, what made Avast Antivir nervous, as several trojans try to make registry entries.
Now instead of making that entry, FLSDCT creates an .ini-file and wirtes the Freelancer.exe-location to it.

Thank you again Max for solving this prob

Nice catch.

And once again…
I just got informed that AVG is detecting a virus in FLSDCT again, we’re already working on it, I’ll keep you imformed.

I hate this paranoic shit.

Edit:
Until we find a solution, you might help yourself by setting your antivirus-program’s heuristic less paranoic. Heuristics compare the all code they find to known virus-codes. In this example, it’s that “download”-command again as it seems. So what AVG says is a so called “false positive”. We definitely need a command like that to get the serverlist downloaded to FLSDCT.
We’ll contact AVG and tell them about that problem, maybe we’ll get help there. I hope so as I am not interested in having to rebuild FLSDCT each time an antivirus-program is being updated. ^^

Thanks for your patience,
greetings, Max.

NOD32 isnt detecting anything…
