AVG False Positive

[th15]

AVG is detecting Game Maker executables (i.e. all of my games) as some form of trojan. This is a false positive, AVG has managed to screw up again.

If you have AVG, attempting to run any Game Maker games will get the file exiled to the virus vault.

Ways to get around this

1. Add an exception to the virus list, you must have admin control over AVG for this.

2. Disable AVG before trying to run these games.


I expect Yoyogames (the company that made Game Maker) will get AVG to reverse this soon, I will update when they've done that.

Well, it seems the AVG problem only affects Game Maker 8 files, so looks like my games won't be affected after all.

Everything's fine then! Just ignore me.
