Message: [QUOTE="valosagutas, post: 216019, member: 77791"] Yes it has a virus but it can only effect the virtual people in the game who only exist in the resident evil universe. As long as you are not made of 0 and 1 everything is okie, gucci and no problemi. But I advise you not to connect your brain into the device you wanna play the game on to be safe lolol. *ahem* I googled and people bumped into false positive (false alarm) anti-virus BS: The thing is there is no "virus code", anti-virus only detects codes that also viruses and whatnot uses. They are especially very sensitive to codes that affect "fundamental of your OS" like kernel of Windows operating system (I really put it very simply). They are also can be very sensitive to "unusual pattern" of how a program may make a change in regedit (um something like operation system settings). In the end naturally lots of stuff can be false positive. For example unusual internet activity the program may do can trigger false positive as a trojan because the program may have a code that checks updates by connecting to its server. Or whatever code used to display an image may trigger "malware" false positive. No anti-virus program properly judge if a program intent to harm the system or not. In reality codes are like a knife, you may use knife to cut your bread or kill someone, it depends on how you use it. Therefore anti-virus programs rather "ban knives" instead of able to judge what might the knife may be used for, but they do try to detect codes that uses other codes that can harm the system. They just cannot properly 100% be sure if a code is virus or something, it's more like 50/50. The only time anti-virus programs can actually be sure if a program has a virus and whatnot is when it looks for known virus and whatnot because these known bad codes have particular same patterns so there is no way they are good codes. In the end it's up to the user to risk it or not. [/QUOTE]
