avast update problems 2017 and windows defender

blablabla That is incorrect, avast among very few other antivirus programs feature 'behaviour analysis' which monitors what executables do 'live' and detects 'malware-like behaviour' and that is what IDP.Generic is. Originally posted by ^('.'^AGw:most of time 'Generic' mean 'it looks like virus, but I can't sure' Only merely that it has caused suspicion which I would like to be cleared. Please keep in mind that with this information collected all together I even my self would still not consider this as proof that the game is infected. Update on || when |Reactivedrop.exe| file was replaced and launching the game afterwards triggered AVAST bahaviour shield to pick up the dll-injection.ĮDIT: Added a link for easy viewing of |Reactivedrop.exe| file scan on website |VirusTotal| website owned by google: The 'suspected' time & date when virus was 'potentially' introduced: The functionality I am talking about here in question is 'dll-injection' as that is the sort of thing that AVAST behaviour shield is designed to detect, it only happens when the software in question is running.įor me this is reason enough to be concerned. There is no other known source engine games that have such added functionality to their executables nor did they need/rely on such functionality to work properly, this includes original Alien Swarm game. This is one game in a long time that I have seen to trigger the AVAST behaviour shield upon running it. My AVAST antivirus behaviour shield did not trigger on that file 'before' the update. The update that was released on | |, replaced file | Reactivedrop.exe |. This has occurred only 'after' a most recent update has been released for this game on steam not long after the games actual official release on steam.

My Avast antivirus has picked up strange behaviour from this games executable upon trying to run it and ended up putting the file into quarantine.
