dsetup.dll is setting off malware alert

[phiren]

For the record, I don't think DSETUP.DLL is a big conspiracy to steal information on my computer.

I'm probably part of a minority of people who play on a machine where I have no control over my anti virus settings.

So -- if the devs feel that what they did is fine, and it's McAfee + other anti virus just being lame (which I completely agree with actually)... then that's fine.

I just wanted to bring it to the attention in the hopes that maybe the Devs can find an alternative.

AVG just picked this up. It was odd because I hadn't done anything for like an hour, was just sitting afk, and it popped up.

Should I let AVG remove it? It's already quarantining it and not giving me the option to leave it alone; the options are quarantine or remove completely.

then you won't be able to play on the server. It isn't a virus

I know; I'm saying AVG didn't give me a choice, it was either delete or quarantine; both amount to the program becoming inaccessible.

Derubael made a good post on the first page I think. Just switch scanners, and don't deal with avg.

For AVG users just add dsetup.dll to your exceptions list. Should run fine after that.

So, while this file tends to raise red flags on some AV programs, the devs can't actually talk about what it specifically does because then that gives cheaters a leg-up on coming up with the next workaround. I get that. But, maybe devs can answer some questions about things that it doesn't do?

Specifically: Does this file (or any files in the p99 setup) have the ability to capture and/or transmit the contents of our display(s) either locally or to a remote location? I only ask this again because I have had repeated issues with input lag that feels *exactly* the same as when I am sharing my screen for work or via OBS for twitch. Just answer this question and I'll take my tinfoil hat off, crumple it up into a ball, and put it in the recycling bin. Thank you in advance. Sorry for the tin.

Not sure if you'll get an answer. Rogean had made a post in the past in response you can look up. I will say from what I know it doesn't do that at all. If it does other shady things I wouldn't have rl friends playing on the server, along with myself.

So confirming there is no way it can capture my banking passwords etc? I've honestly started thinking about building a box that literally only runs P99 in it so I dont have to worry about what this DLL is doing (ie: wont do my online banking, bills etc on it)
