How to ignore avast false-positive without turning it off?
« on: December 02, 2008, 06:01:15 AM »
I am trying to download a program but it won't let me and bam "A virus was found!", but I am downloading from a private torrent site, so I know for sure it's not a virus or a harmful program. So please DON'T argue with me about that.  It identifies the keygen/crack as a Trojan. My arse...

Also if I press "No Action" it- Note: if you press the "No action" button, the malware will NOT be activated.  So yeah, it didn't let me download.

Thanks for directly answering my question and not going off topic.

This is a site that is devoted to avoiding the downloading of malware.  It is not a site supporting unethical activity (in which you seem to regularly seek support in this forum).  I suspect that you will get precious little help here with this ...  your rear end notwithstanding.

If you want to get infected... disable the antivirus and go ahead...

keygen and cracks cause the computer to crash. and make the dangerous infection which the antivirus can't sometimes delete it.
you'd better buy the serial number instead, safer and no malware or virus.
