AntiVir Personal detects PB malware?

HunterMed · 02-18-2009, 01:04 PM

I have already played the new version a lot.

Never had any problems.
But now suddenly Antivir detects malware everytime I want to join a game.

I press on connect to server and then I hear the frightening beep of AntiVir and PR freezes.

This is the warning I get from AntiVir:

Quote:

In der Datei "...\battlefield 2\pb\pbcl.dll'
wurde ein Virus oder unerwünschtes Programm 'HEUR/Malware' [heuristic] gefunden.
Ausgeführte Aktion: Zugriff verweigern

I know it is german, but anyway it just says:
virus detected or unwanted program found.
Taken action: deny access

Never had this before... what is it? and what should I do?

Thanks!

Hunter

AntiVir tends to produce a lot of false warnings...

damn thats bad (Esp for you mate. could it be punk buster..) try updating your PB??

Now pretty much all files from PB are detected as malware.

The updating doesnt work. it is getting stopped by antivir ...

try a different AV program and do the same.

could just be false flags.

HunterMed · 02-18-2009, 01:31 PM

those files got removed now... no virus found anymore but when updating PB AntiVir is stopping it again because it says the new files are malware too...

mh anyone new ideas?
