Yuck it up if you want. I suppose none of you use quicken to upload transactions into a budget, nor any of you file your taxes electronically and keep a pdf of the return for next year, nor balance your check book in excel. You make light of it, but there is a reason the scanners pick up certain types of changes.

While I believe in the good nature of the developers, they are for the most part anonymous to us. Would you trust your information with someone you only know through a chat room?

If you are that worried about it, encrypt those files.

While that is good advice, I am not sure I will get all of the potential files or temporary files that might be stored. Nor am I sure my wife will do the same thing. Is there a way apart from having a totally different machine I can segregate what the application can see? Will a separate user account on the PC do any good?

Point is you're so worried about this game file being flagged (as a false positive I might add) when social media and or free services like google log, track, and sell everything you do online. Shit who knows if your 'antivirus' application isn't calling home with a list of files from your computer. The p99 .dll is the least of your worries.

burn your computer to the ground! break out the pen and paper and file that shit in metal cabinet! computers are not secure enough by your standards [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here's a clue. If they wanted that stuff so horribly badly they would just take it with or without this dll. patch. Home computers aren't Fort Knox.
