Hi, I launched the installer and AVG came up saying it had an Adware Virus called opencandy,

 

 

 

Please help! Is this normal!

 

 

Problems with the automatic installer downloads?  Your anti-virus may be detecting them as false-positives: either disable your anti-virus momentarily or use the manual installation instead.

It's normal for anti-virus programs to have false positives with LCPDFR. They don't seem to like the automatic installer (exe files downloaded from the Internet are hated by A/V programs).

As mentioned above, either disable your anti-virus or install the mod manually.

Yeah i use Norton and it does it every time.I guess its because the auto install injects files into your program files.seems sketchy to anti virus software.

The manual version got flagged by Avast on my computer aswell.

 

But yeah, the fix for this is just to disable the AV or whitelist the file.

I simply turned off Avast and excluded the GTA 4 folder and reported it as a false positive.

kaspersky must be garbage becasue it just doesnt care for me i had no problems lol/.......

Just press show more options under the remove thing and select allow it and it'll run. I also have AVG and it detects it as a virus but it isn't.

Kaspersky is actually really good, it's one of the best in my opinion, it doesn't notify me of a virus on 1.0D because it knows there is no virus there.

thats good but if anything ever goes wrong use malwarebytes i had to bail myself out on that one..... 

If your chosen, or forced, AV detects it as any generic bs and you have checked with other sources, REPORT THE FILE TO YOUR AV PROVIDER AS A FALSE POSITIVE. The only way to improve these company's terrible products is to tell them that they are doing things wrong.
