TCommTek Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi all. I'm currently running LaunchBox 6.10. When I launched it this morning I saw the popup for an update. When the update starts installing, I got a notification from AVG that the IDP.ARES.GENERIC threat was detected. I checked my other machine and have the same issue. Is this an issue for anyone else?

CliveBarker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello What? As far as I know there is not 6.11 version Are you sure it says 6.11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCommTek Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I just saw a posting for a 6.11 changelog in the news and updates. I'm currently running 6.10, and the program is showing an official update, so I'd assume it is for 6.11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveBarker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 If you meant this post It is not official. Jason usually announces versions at the beta test thread and LaunchBox social accounts like twitter and facebook and I haven't seen any official post about the 6.11 update. I have contacted him directly and linked this thread to him, but he is not currently online. It just seems weird to me because they were at the Retropalooza convention this weekend so I thought there wont be any update those days. Anyway there has been multiple user reports similar to this one in the past and it seems that the conclusion is that the antivirus is reporting a false positive. I will wait for Jason's answer and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCommTek Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Ok. I thought it was odd too since they're away. I'm going to hold off on this update until I know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveBarker Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hello! Jason just answered me and the update is legit, he says it is a false positive and LaunchBox is virus free. He will run an antivirus check tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 On this last update (6.10 not 6.11) Avast actually did prompt with a window that said something like "Hang on, this file might be malicious..." but after a few seconds of scanning it said it was all clear. I can only assume there's something weird prompting a false positive for some AV software. This has been reported a few times previously on earlier updates, though it's the first time anything has presented itself for me. If I had to throw something out there, I'd wager it had something to do with Controller Automation+AHK for controlling things outside of LB/BB. That's not exactly new though so I'm not sure why it would present an issue now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
