slygothmog Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi people. Today my AVG did it's sceduled scan and at the end told me it had found and removed 7 viruses, all of them were ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated for Fallout 3.I have had ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated installed for over 3 months now and this has never happend before.Has this happend to anyone else? And if i re-install ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated will AVG just go and dump it into the virus vault again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csgators Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Strage, I just manually scanned the folder and it found 2, the actuall .exe and a temp file. My guess is that the way the program behaves it can be viewed as malware. May need to add exception for that folder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair91 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Is it just AVG? I tried scanning with Avast, nothing of similarity showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoogieMonster Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I had been loyal to AVG since around version 6 so I've seen how it's starting to have more and more problems with games. About a year ago I ended up just making my game install locations an exception in the AVG properties. About two weeks ago, I finally couldn't take the aggravation anymore and just uninstalled AVG. It sucks because it seems there is no other single, free anti-virus that does everything AVG does, but the program has just become too excessively aggressive over the years to make up for its features. And to answer your question, yes, AVG will attack the file again if you reinstall it. In fact, it will become even more determined to move the file into the vault or delete it altogether. I found that out the hard way a couple weeks ago when it locked its sights on one of programs that runs my one-handed keyboard. Scan with couple other anti-viruses and if they don't come up with anything, get rid of AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csgators Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 @WoogieMonster Avira is the closest thing to what you are looking for I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adruluz Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yeah this has happened to me before but i think i know why AVG considers it a virus and that is because there is a bug in somewhere of the folder if you do not know what a bug is well i think it is some sort of files that connects you into some webpage but other than that it is pretty safe.
