Virus?

[nmgarmeg]

I am a standard user on my computer and the admin does not want me installing programs . I saw this and downloaded the portable app for windows . After a little while AVG said it was a virus and deleted it ! I re-downloaded the portable app and it did it again ! Why is this ?

zeroinstall can trigger antivirus programs. It's nothing to worry about, just add it to your list of exceptions.

Thank you. Does it need zeroinstall to work?

As far as I know, the only portable version of the game was provided by Z-Man in the Dev section of the forums. If you are getting it from anywhere else, provide the download link and I'll check it out.

@garmeg: I'm not sure on that one tbh. 0install is harmless though.
@light: huh?

Never mind, it was a portable Linux version, not Windows. I guess there is no portable version put out by them that would be on Windows then.

So, where did he get the portable Win app? It may not be a false positive.

Someone, I can't remember who, made one. Probably this one: http://portableapps.com/apps/games/arma ... d_portable That should be safe.

Well, maybe she has a good reason for that policy? Like, not wanting you playing games while you should be studying?
