Virus warning while installing - 11/18/2021 3:25:01 PM

Hi,

I have downloaded the DCArdennesOffensive-SetupRelease-v1.00.01.zip file and while extracting and running it I got virus warning from Avast antivirus, I know that there are possible negative positive warnings but there are so many ones, if I do ignore the warning I get warning for the next ones. I have installed multiple Matrix games on my machine I have never got that many virus warnings. Can you check the files.

best regards
Dr.Jones

We check everything for viruses before uploading to the store, however depending on the anti-virus software (and Avast can be very aggressive on this) they can still throw up warnings as a false positive.

You are safe to ignore the warning and proceed with installation.

My Avast flagged it too:

IDP.ALEXA.53 was the flagged item in (now off screen irsetup.exe ? )

I've gone ahead and ...... I'll report back if aggro occurs.

It's a false positive.
You need irsetup.exe to install some games. It's a legit file.
