Building and Zipping and making the game downloadable[Resolved]
by Neal Guzman · in Torque 2D Beginner · 07/31/2014 (8:06 am) · 6 replies
So I notice when I build a project (game). That once it's built I zip up all the files and put it in my drop box for downloading. However, when ever anyone downloads it ; it states there's a virus. I've scanned my entire computer and the files necessary to play my game. It still claims it has a virus and makes it so people can't download it. Are there solutions for this?
edit : this issue is resolved by setting the internet security to low or making a website exception if you have a better solution feel free to post it.

I send all files to windows zip, I have Microsoft security essentials they have mcaffee. i'm not sure if they altered the uac . What would be the best way to do would be a better question? As for instashield they have a free trail so not sure if it would work after the trail. Edit : The trial is only 21 days after that it won't work. I have two places one could get the download

With the dozens of possible computer configurations that your end users will have you're probably going to have to field these questions pretty often. Most of the time it's just a matter of telling your anti-virus software to trust a particular site, or to ignore warnings where applicable.

Ok, I'm at work and our systems here have McAfee installed. Downloading via Chrome on Win7 Enterprise x64 the download completes, Chrome reports that McAfee thinks the file is "malicious" and won't allow opening from the download tab on the bottom of the window. Opening the Downloads page from the settings menu shows me the download and offers the option to ignore the warning. After that I unzipped it and it ran fine.With the dozens of possible computer configurations that your end users will have you're probably going to have to field these questions pretty often.

I believe TGE and TGEA engine signatures finally got added to virus exceptions definitions of the previously troublesome antivirus tools, but both T2D and T3D has seen some changes to the compiler in the past few years that might have changed the signature enough to void the exceptions definitions list.

Games made with Torque in the past have been marked malicious due to the TorqueScript compiler signature because trojans like Sev7n(correction Sub7) back in the day also used flex & bison (or lex & yacc) to create their script compilers in too, so a few anti-virus companies created virus definitions looking for those generic compiler signatures.I believe TGE and TGEA engine signatures finally got added to virus exceptions definitions of the previously troublesome antivirus tools, but both T2D and T3D has seen some changes to the compiler in the past few years that might have changed the signature enough to void the exceptions definitions list.
