"generic11" is a very common false positive. Even the official Adobe Reader download has set off AV programs as "generic11".

It's probably a trojan that Image/Skazo uses to data-mine you for ideas. These guys make a living stealing things from other people.

Either way, a computer game that requires you to download a trojan that grants complete access to your computer? ("It doesn't do that"...it's a trojan, yes it does, it's not HALF a trojan, or 1/3 of a trojan or a mini trojan with limited powers, its a full blown trojan.

If you ever see your mouse moving around while you're sitting back in your chair you'll know why.

Some dweeb requiring you to give up access to your computer to play your little dream game. I wonder what else their egos convince them of, that you owe them any investment ideas that your little computer can possibly contribute.

When you see your mouse moving around by itself you'll know why.

The problem with sending requests to the AV companies about whitelisting it is that they can only whitelist one version of the file. When we update our DLL (Which happens every time we make a change to revert a feature of the client to a classic state, not just anti cheat detections) we would have to do the whole process again.

I would think you're not the first to run into the issues of updating a file that is flagged as a virus. There must be a place to submit changes to files as they are updated. Even if you did have to redo the process each time. Once you've submitted it once you should only have to add updates to what you originally sent (the new changes). You wouldn't have to start from scratch each time.

I think we all understand if you guys are too busy to do this (It is your time and we appreciate what you guys are doing already), but it does just seem to be a matter of putting time into an issue which should improve the server and not an issue of great difficulty for those that were involved in making the DLL file.

Thanks,
George
