There might be a worm in Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon
 

Hi,

Avast (antivirus) thinks this game "Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon" http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/44...he+Falcon.html has a worm inside. Maybe he's wrong, but I thought I should tell you nontheless. :)

The file donwload url is [removed]

Sincerely,
Ollie.

Avast is wrong and stupid. :tongue: But thanks anyway. :D

What he meant to say is that anti-virus programs arent really friendly towards old DOS-games, usually thinking their weird old files are viruses, so its probably a false alarm.

Thanks for the reformulation. :thumbs:

Avast must be fearing that their rivals shall dominate them.

Avast is devastating.

Please post the exact report.

This one again...?
Again because:

Heuristic scan should be forbidden.

Hehehe, yeah, I thought so. Sinbad wil pwn Avast. :)

@The Fifth Horseman Avast is so dumb I couldn't even find a detailed report :)
@Juanca Oh ok, I tried searching for this kind of thing but didn't find anything.

I thought it was a false alarm. Please feel free to close/delete this thread.

For the future, more up-to-date results of the scan:

Avast isn't too bad. In fact, it's actually quite good. Someone doesn't know what he's talking about :)

Next he claims Norton AntiVirus is good. :rolleyes:

There is no worm in the Sinbad game,
but there's a worm at the bottom of my garden. And his name is Wiggly Woo.
:bleh:




(sorry, but *someone* had to post that :3:)

does it have any batch files? Cause thats prolly why antivirus thinks its a virus.......bat's usually get flagged as virus' it seems

Nah, NAV sucks... but I still think Avast is pretty good. It is the ONLY antivirus program that was able to successfully completely remove Win32.Virut.
