MrRight: To be fair, if the files do contain malware that GOG didn't know about, then Avira have every right to flag the site as having malware hosted.
They certainly would be correct to flag us as a malware site if our downloads contained anything that was harmful to your privacy or your computer.

But there's no malware in any of our files.

MrRight: Will GOG be contacting Avira to get this sorted? Why are these files being flagged like that? As in, what do they have included that might make them think it's malware? The email I got back said it's malware that exploits systems running Windows 95/98/ME
Probably because we use some fairly common EXE modifications to remove the DRM from some games. They're not going to update our definitions just because we promise them that we aren't doing anything hinky.

On the other hand, I promise you we aren't doing anything hinky. :D
