Aaron Ibarra Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So I got a new computer that I just installed pso on and it thinks it's a virus. It says that it is a Win32/Huer. Can someone tell me if this is a problem or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyane Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 All you need to do is add the full pso folder to the antivirus exceptions after you install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynub Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 When I added the folder as an exception it still didn't work. I went in and added each individual .exe from the PSOBB folder to the exceptions list and THEN it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyane Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Try that too if the first doesn't work. (AVG is too picky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunnbt473 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Actually, while AVG is an adequate antivirus, that is why I stopped using it myself. It is a bit over sensitive. Not the best for gaming IMHO. Actually, I've recently been looking for a good free gaming AV program myself. I could suggest an AV or two, but with so many differences there are a hundred reasons to like/hate any given AV.Huer as in heuristic. Its trying to detect previously unfound viruses based on its behavior. Hence the false positive. I have no idea exactly what it is that AVG dislikes about the program, but I wouldn't worry about it. It could be something as simple as the game creating registry keys or deleting files from particular folders..etc. It really depends on what rules AVG created, which without knowing how they wrote it or why.. could be anything. If they wanted they could write a rule that says any file that doesn't begin with a letter gets flagged if they wanted to. (I highly doubt they would of course). Typically a great many anti viruses would flag it over time if it was an issue. If you're unsure about a file I like to try sites like virustotal.com that use more than 50 AV engines to scan an item. Many of them will also note the first time they have seen a particular file and how long since it was last scanned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolective Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 AVG detects it as a virus. Just like Norton. And MCafee. and Avast. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
