False Positive with game Just Cause 2
« on: December 26, 2013, 08:25:12 PM »
Today I bought Just Cause 2 on steam and when I tried to install it !Avast popped up with the Virus Blocked message here is the image of it in the chest. It WAS a [Susp]WIN:32.Evo-gen but when I scan it in the virus chest it shows s:~no.virus~. Already submitted to the !Avast guys. Here is the virus total scan ( https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/9a08bc33885543211b48d28ff5d8b458ebc5cee429951a939eb0b8ea8db02b0c/analysis/1388084886/ ) tell me what it says because I cant load it for some weird reason.

Fox. P.S Uploaded images of all the stages.

Already sent through the virus chest. A few minutes later there was an update. Also the VT scan was just spinning. So your saying this is probably a FP?

Metascan came back clean. 0/40. VT is still broke. Going to assume it's a FP then.

Just an update this still isn't fixed. Is there a way I can submit this so someone can check it quicker? If someone buy's this game off steam they will run into the same False Positive I am.

P.S Happy New Year.
