Greetings everyone my AVG Internet Security 2012 detected the file iw4me.exe as a Trojan Horse Corruted_c.XF, Can anyone confirm that if it's a false positive?

its false. https://www.virustotal.com/file/bbdc1ee ... 338100265/

It's just the Steam MW2 executable editied a tad.

 

AVG is dumb, get a better av.

False positive. AVG is one of the most sensitive AV's out there.

Get something better.

We all knew AVG was shit, just get another or add an exception.

It detects the old IWNet server, FFS.

Buy a better one. Like Kaspersky.

Iv got the same problem, i took a screen of threat alert

 

Checked with AVG on two machines, no threats detected.. I haven't found anything wrong with AVG, works quietly and effectively, no flood of false positives, not a huge memory footprint or performance issues. The same update-while-you-play comes rarely, used AVIRA before so it's a breeze after that, at least AVG update is fast. Also once you tell AVG that it's a false positive, it stops bothering you about it, something a lot of other providers don't; you mark false positive as safe and few minutes after that, the AV pops up again alerting of the same file...

 

A quote of one review: "Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 is very effective at blocking new malware attacks and is easy to use, but it slows system performance more than we'd like to see." Allthou most reviews are clearly paid promoting, like i would believe that Norton is the best of them all (it was marked as the best in that review, blaah...).. Avira is shite these days, packed with adware, ask toolbar and the update advertising nagging screens, false positives can't be marked as safe...Comodo was shite too, so was ESET.

It's actually not letting me open the file, I have AVG as well. Can someone help me how to start MW2?

Ok, several people who have AVG can't run IW4M today... that "anti-virus" should get banned from the internet... surely a messed up definition update.

Just get rid of that anti-virus. It's known for lots of false positives.
