AVG seems to think Assassin's Creed III is a trojan

AV programs often flag .exes period. I just downloaded Infinity Wars and had to whitelist it, and I've had more than my fair share of games downloaded from Steam getting flagged. There's a 99.999 percent chance you're fine, if you're sure you downloaded it from the right source. That .001 percent is on the off chance someone did hack into Ubisoft's servers and did nothing but change the ACIII .exe into a trogan.

I cannot imagine how people live with AVG. Everyone tells me such terrible, yet amusing, horror stories involving AVG. Microsoft Security Essentials is all I'll ever use. It is enough to protect me from the virtual HIV virus from obscure porn sites, anyways.

Switch to Avast

You can surely set a configuration rule to exclude the whole UPlay and Steam games directories. You haven't to worry about them.

Spybot Search and Destroy, COMODO, and Malware-Bytes are all you need.

Still using AVG? They are on the same level as McaFee and Norton.

Microsoft Security Essentials

delete avg..throw the pc on the window

I'd say it's off by a thousand years, you sure you didn't set your computer's date to 1260 BC?

Why are you telling us for? Either exclude it from AVG or delete that shit and get MSE.

To be honest...with the logo and all, not so long ago I thought it must be malware. oO"
I use just MSE and all 2 weeks or so, or if I have a bad feeling I let Malwarerebytes do it's job.

MSE/Defender, SpyBot S&D (2), SpywareBlaster, MalwareBytes ...
No virus, trojan, worm or rootkit in years.

Assassin's Creed III uses PunkBuster for anti-cheat. It is a trojan.

Uplay :P

I coulda sworn he was Native American.

avg is sht

He's saving you from... that.

I have 2 things to say:

1. AVG is shit not antivirus. Get something better (Avast or Kaspersky). Even Avast Free! is better than AVG!
2. Assassins Creed III is shit. It just didn't feel as AC anymore. The whole gameplay just wasn't the same anymore. AC got worse after AC2/Brotherhood but atleast Revelations still had same nice gameplay and whole story wasn't getting strange. That's the reason why I never finished AC3.

ASSASSINATE AVG. DRAGON NIGHT ADVANCE.

Oh yeah, whitelist it.

Right after I've seen the title I thought this is about Video Game Nerd thinking it's a trojan lol.

AVG and Avast sucks, get Eset Smart Security.

AVG sucks.
it used to put my game exe's in a quarantine automatically, than when i whitelist all of them it now automatically removes the game exe's from my computer (WHAT THE FUCK) and i have to do a steam verification in order to get the exe back
fuck AVG...
use something else, norton maybe (not that their product is worth any more than the other assholes, but at least it doesn't delete your exe's for no reason at all)

I have been using avg + zone alarm fire wall for over 2 years, no idea why the hate. I scan my pc every 2-3 months with Malware-Bytes and spybot, never had any issues. Yes it rarely flags games like CS:GO as malware but once you add them to whitelist it never bothers you again.

uninstall that anti virus, it would have to be the worst AV ever
