Z8Games giving out viruses AGAIN
I WAS PLAYING CROSSFIRE and while playing my virus protection popped up saying i had a backdoor trojan coming from program files x86 z8games something, i couldnt see the full description and i tried to screenshot it but my pc is junk and doesnt make screenshots.
This has happened to me and several others in the past. People remember this im sure. Z8games is giving out viruses.

This is either a false positive or a virus from a different source infecting your Crossfire folder. Because of the way XTrap functions, some antivirus software will incorrectly detect it as a virus. It's also possible that an infected program you downloaded targeted your Crossfire folder. Z8 does not distribute infected software.DrKillemQuik wrote: »I WAS PLAYING CROSSFIRE and while playing my virus protection popped up saying i had a backdoor trojan coming from program files x86 z8games something, i couldnt see the full description and i tried to screenshot it but my pc is junk and doesnt make screenshots.

Yes, it is. I've had it many times before. Even after closed beta and nothing has happened. Chill out.
Do you know how stupid it would be for the company to do that?

It's a false positive. It's not uncommon for anticheat programs to be detected by heuristic scans as a possible threat, since the mechanism used for detecting cheats goes deeper into the system than most other programs. There is no, nor has there ever been, any virus included with Crossfire.

ya, norton use to think Xfire was an unsafe program, McAffee was a dumbass a few months ago and released an update and made the antivirus think that a very important file for microsoft to run was a trojan, it screwed my computer, my neighbour (this guy tahts like a geek and his job is fixing computers and he even helped make an operating system, i forget the name) came over, uninstall my microsoft, save all teh data on my computer on my computer onto a back up hard drive and had to put everything back in after re-installnig windows.DrKillemQuik wrote: »what the *** are you talking about, its fake? my virus protection stopped me from playing crossfire to tell me i had a trojan that isnt real?
