Default Issues with new patch.

SO i'm downloading the new change update from the webiste (which would be eqchanges14.zip) and ESET found a potential threat within the file.

I'm curious if it is safe to use,because ESET picked up Win32/Packed.themida as malware.

wtf is ESET?

Anyways, Themida is the program used to protect and encrypt the file so that it can't be edited, hacked, or modified. If your antivirus is flagging it, it is because it by default flags any file it finds packed using Themida, and flagging all of them even though maybe 1% of them might be a virus.

None of the other anti viruses do this obviously because they understand that you can't discriminate a file based on the application that built it instead of what it actually does.
