Hello,

Hello,

Yes i've the same problem with my antivirus "Avira"

 

[arzouille]

same problem here, impossible to download anything.

 

[Zashassar]

[houtexan56]

i downloaded the new upgrade and it wont load the pokefarmer after i dont extracted the files

 

[Tony]

set exceptions plz

false/positive case

 

[Throstslasher99]

Same for me im using Kaspersky

I'm getting the same on Avira Anti-virus. After updating PF to 1.0.190.0, the anti-virus is detecting Pokefarmer.exe as "TR/Agent.jqerq" and moving it to quarantine.

As tony said, create an exception or just switch off your antivirus.

Hi Tony,
I will not put the security of my computer for any Pokemon in the world.
Your statement: this is the only way can not be,
with Ninja.bot it goes also without the virus scanner announces alarm

sorry for my bad English

Either you put an exception to PF or just don't use it.
It's a simple fix, it's up to you.

Well, then I decide for security, and with me probably some other gamers

Other bots are not written in pure C++. Unfortunately, anti-virus applications do have false positives. Our products do not contain viruses (use VirusTotal if you really want to check). We take security far more seriously than even you probably do. If you feel compelled to, send our bot to your anti-virus company to have them check it for viruses themselves and add their own exclusion. Otherwise, add one locally for yourself. We cannot "fix" something we have no control over.

False-positives are not an uncommon occurrence these days. If you choose not to use the bot because of them, that's your choice.

Well, finally one of the synonymous explained what and does not just say: take or die
Your explanation sounds quite plausible
Thank you

Couldn't have said it any better than Apoc! There have been versions that have indeed ran false positives. A great example to give some of you still fearing the worst. If you setup a new computer, and only install an antivirus and a fresh copy of windows (with no internet connection), you will still find alleged malware and such with false positives, because the programs look for communication behaviors and such, thus, those afraid that PF is a threat, should be afraid that windows is a threat to itself. Enjoy the new version and fear not.

Not sure how to make this download an exception

my antivirus program will not allow the downloaded file to up zip without deleting the files it doesnt like.

it then totally scans and cleans my system

?? any ideas
