Is Silent Hunter a Trojan?

[rascal101]

Hi to all this is an odd thing so I thought I'd post it in the mods and the basic SH3 forums as I'm hoping someone may have had a similar experience.

OK - I've been playing SH3 happily for years - this evening and out of the blue when I clicked on the usual SH3 icon to start the game my Avira Anti Virus program flashed up the following warning:

C:\ProgramFiles\Ubisoft\SilentHunter\MissionEngine .dll is the TR/Crypt.ZPACK.GEN Trojan

Can any one tell me what’s going on - Avira gave me options to delete, ignore etc so originally I selected delete which then caused my game to become impossible to run.

So then I encountered the usual difficulties uninstalling and then reinstalling blah blah - Thank god for Mr. SquareSteelBar (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=225594) and his SH3 RegClean (http://www.mediafire.com/?wngwd6yie9u)
He should put this on a sticky cos it seems to be the only way to safely remove the dame game and I imagine when IAMBECOMELIFE releases the Merchant Fleet mod that some poeple will want clean installs comes.

So the question is - does any one know what is going on with this Avira warning?

Best Regards

I think it's a 'Wrong Positive' - ignore it.
Put MissionEngine.dll to the 'Excludes List' in AntiVir's 'Configuratuion'

I've found the easiest way to tell if something is a trojan is to check for the reservoir tip.
