Can't Install Some Demos Due to WS Reputation 1 Dedected

[Calvin]

Many demos downloaded from share were detected with this "virus/ malware..." program, is anyone here knows whether it is safe to install that?

Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's reputation based. No reputation is red flagged as much as a bad reputation. In short the files are too new. I have to disable (does it for 15 min automatically) my anti-virus to run the demos.

We scan all the files hosted on Share, but sometimes there can be false positives. I don't know of any confirmed malware ever being on the site, but I guess it's possible. Some scanners will detect different things than others.

What software are you using that flags the software, and which specific games have the problem?

Yeah reputationalarm are usually safe. Norton gets crazy with every new .dll especially with the "direct modes"

just turn it off while testing

I had to put my Oculus / Oculus Games and Demos folders in exception list on the Norton program since I was getting that same false positive from every single demo, it also happens with updates from Grey Dog Software games. Now everything works perfectly fine 🙂
