Form your guys recommendations in the free games thread, I went to install WoT Today.

And i got a nasty virus warning, scared the crap outa me. And Apparently I'm not the only one. Forum thread. I'm goest as Gargamel was taken already :(


How many of you guys have tried this game? Is it reputable?

I trust the opinions and thoughts of this random internet forum as opposed to that random internet forum :D

Which AV are you running?

Did you update in the last few days as most people are saying?

seaniam81 03-17-11 01:20 AM

Using Avira, currently updated. Just ran WOT no notices of a virus. Also WOT isn't in my list of exceptions. What AV program are you running? I find AVG returns a lot of false positives.

Gargamel 03-17-11 02:15 AM

Yeah, AVG.

They addressed it in the thread tonight.

Apparently it was also Norton.

But of course when I download a new app from an site I don't know, and A keylogger warning appears, I'm going to flip out.

I've been running WoT since the closed beta and never had any warnings. Where did you download it from?

Same here, been running it since September and no virus warning.

From their site. Turns out it's the beta logging software their using for error reporting. Or at least that's what they said.

I'm keeping a close eye on my processes and net traffic, so If something smells fish, I'm killing it.

But to be honest... I spent 5 hours last night saying just one more battle!
