I downloaded that GoW setup file but couldn't run the hamachi fix.

AVG picked up the file as a virus. What's the deal? See attached.

If it's just AVG being paranoid, are there some steps I can manually take to do the same thing this file does?

MessiaaH · « **Reply #82 on:** May 18, 2008, 08:53:10 PM »

Yes, AVG is just paranoid, nothing is wrong with the file, juss disable avg, run it to fix yuh gears, den enable back avg.
Its a one time run file. So once you run it, ure good to go. Anytime you are dealing wiht "aquired" games this kinda of threadment from your antivirus is to be expected.

And no, there are no manual instructions you can follow to acheive the same result, you have to use that file.

Aye fellers, wont it be fun in gears 2, if 2 men coudl chainsaw someone at the same time?

, cause in d swet, when a man down, u and yuh partner would be rushing for d final blow.
plicture 2 chainsaws to a man chess at once }-}

Speaking of which, check out gamespot or ign for a video on gears 2, its for d xbox first, so check there, gears 2 lookin CRAZY.

^^Co-sign there cap, AVG thinks every damn thing is a virus and I hate it. NOD32 is what you need to get noob.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #86 on:** May 19, 2008, 07:07:32 AM »

well I dunno, did a search for autoit worm on google, a lot of results came up. F-Secure, bitdefender, avast, etc....all had entries for it, so I'm a little wary.

Gonna try the below links when I got time to see if they can setup gow for hamachi without setting off AVG's alarm bells.

^^^^^^ AVAST FT-muthaf@@%@#-W.
Agreed, its what i use, Bitdefender is pretty awesome, but if u want a free version that tops, AVAST FTW.

-------------

And noob, all dem links you post, i done gone through all dat long time, i take d time to do all d research so ppl wont have to hassle dey self with dat.
juss download a file, follow a readme and talk done.

Those links are d long way to get it to work, man ent have time for that. That fix that AVG pickin up, is a all in one tool dat doing evyerhting for you, wiht an undo feature. and is by chance i came across it after alot of googlin. Stop being paranoid and run d thing

Yeah i agreee here, i use to use avg, ut did not catch an actual virus half the times, BitDefender dread but yua have to pay for it, Avast Home is the shit, best free AV i run across that really works

phoenix31tt · « **Reply #91 on:** May 19, 2008, 10:39:44 AM »

yeah i use Bitdefender ... best AV i ever used... and it let the install go tru... i cant remember if i had to allow any registry changes... but the file is safe

When did this thread turn into a "What antivirus do you use" thread, lolol.

SWEATOLOGY ppl, we talking UT3, DOW, and GEARS!!!!! any sugesstions on a voice system for gears?

I nominate Ventrilo - its lightweight, and low and bandwith

Antivirus only affects the swet if u using avg

, hence the plotera of recomendations already made, time to move on

o and whiles we on the topic, For all those who gears crasnhin on dem, i found that disabling yuh AV helps with stability :S
Some say xfire was crashing there's as well, but weekend when mines was juss crashing ove rand over, i exit msn, and it ran fine for d rest of d swet :S

so things to keep in mind for those expereinceing problems.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #97 on:** May 19, 2008, 01:52:42 PM »

All this talk of Gears of War crashing. Are other games crashing on your machines or only Gears of War?

Messiah, I work in IT, it's my job to be paranoid. lol

Love sweat just as much as the other guy, but would prefer a way to get in on the action without taking that risk and having AVG go ballistic. Don't mind doing the extra clicks outlined in those links.

Funny that GoW is so problematic. Reading online, few other games require all this effort to work. Could just be a case of a badly coded game I guess.

MessiaaH · « **Reply #98 on:** May 19, 2008, 02:44:54 PM »

Any UT3 Engine game gives problems for me, COD4 Runs fine all bells and whistles on, but im doing some research here on what coudl be cuasing the crash, and aparently there are known issues with nvidia cards and the UT3 engine, more pronounced on SLI rigs like my own.

And microsoft took extra steps to ensure aquired gears cant be used for multiplayer purposes, for instance, gears has a feature where it wont allow you to join a lan game on anything more dan 30 ping. so these fixes are required for gears to by pass some of those anoying features.

And i work in I.T. as well, which is why you shoudl be familiar with soemthing called a False Positive. There are many cases where avg allowed actual harmful viruses to infect client machines, lol. But there are alot of users here that posted different AV dey use, and none of us had this problem with the file, avg is just being paranoid, "Flase Positive". I personaly dont get viruses, only ever got a virus once, and it was cause i do sh1t

. Check out Avast, or Bitdefender.
And coming out of townshend you shoudl know how verse mike and myself is in i.t., if we say d file safe, it safe.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #99 on:** May 19, 2008, 02:54:39 PM »

no need to get all defensive. you don't think this noob technically sound enough to do the patching manually or what?

like you doubting how verse I am, lol
