Can someone please confirm, I have not gotten any alert before and I have always used this virus protection



Is this just a fake alert or is it not, please confirm would you.

As I said, I have never gotten this alert before, and I had the same virus protection too.

Most likely you got a updated version or virus definition.
generic means that they have nu clue on what it is but only that it looks scaaaaaary. It's safe. Don't bother yourself with false alarms like this.


Also, do you really want to put your trust in an anti virus that can't spell the word generic ?[/i]

Haha, but its Genetik as in Genetic :P
At least that's what I've been told by my girlfriends brother who is a technician.

I didn't really bother, was just wondering. Not like I have anything to steal anyway.

Is the bright read "OMG VIRUS!!!" sticky thread so hard to see & read?!

http://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?t=24363

These 'genetik' and 'agent' flags are just so general it's unreal. It picks up more false-positives then actual threats. I turned off the detection of packers in the settings of ESET the second I installed it. I would suggest you do the same.

Hey! I did read
In case you didn't read what I said before.
"I didn't really bother, was just wondering. Not like I have anything to steal anyway."

As in, I didn't care about it since it has never caused any problem before, and I didn't get this message before either.

Meaning:
Someone could have hacked and changed the upload to a modified version. you never know, one of my real life friends tend to do this some times when he is bored.

Just put off your virus program or delete it.

This was already solved, but thanks.
Also if no one did notice, I put a lock request here.
