I made a couple of purchases today, Septerra Core was one of the two and Duke Nukem 3D was the other.
I installed Duke Nukem 3D without issue, but when trying to install Septerra Core I was warned by Vipre Antivirus of an instance of Trojan.Win32.Obfuscated.Gen.
I reinstalled Duke Nukem 3D just in case, to test, and tried a few of the other GoG installers I still had locally, everything checked out fine and peachy. The only installer I get this alert with is Septerra Core. I've also run a deep scan of my system to make sure I'm clean, which I seem to be, and I've also ran a manual check for the presence of this trojan too, according to a number of online sources.
So, either the Septerra.exe (the file reported) in the installer really is infected, or this is a false positive. I'm looking for a way to submit this file to Sunbelt Software at the moment so they can examine it too, if it's a false positive then it should be sorted because otherwise it might make people wary of buying the game.
I'm thinking false positive anyway... what're your thoughts?
