helop5 -> Virus in Dowload v1804 (12/24/2008 10:05:03 PM)

I just bought the game and went to download the patches. Everytime I download the v1804 comprehensive patch my anti-virus program quarantines the witprec.exe file with a virus. Is there somewhere else I can get the update? HELP!

It's a false positive.  Some AV program flag witprec.exe as a virus.  It isn't.

I can count on that? You are positive? I would hate to kill my computer!

Yep, it has happened before. What AV are you using and what version?



wdolson -> RE: Virus in Dowload v1804 (12/24/2008 11:16:02 PM)

If you google witprec.exe, there are about 1200 hits on people who ran into the same problem.  It's well documented.

Guys, thank you. I just have to run it with my anti-virus program shut-off. Even restoring the file doesn't solve the problem. When I launch the game the virus progam immediately quarantines the file.

Good luck then... often when the file is quarantined, it is "sanitized" first - which pretty much destroys the functionality of the file. This requires reinstallation.

Contact your anti-virus provider and ask them if you can specify an exception for a false positive...

AVG had this problem, but updated within a day or so to correct it... i forget all the other programs that also labelled it as false positive, but i think there were several.
