The best solution is to disable your anti-virus. For some reasons some anti-viruses think a lot of things contain viruses etc just because of they way it was designed. I had a problem with a patcher awhile ago where my anti-virus thought it contained malcious viruses :<

@Mysterious : Yeah, I feel you.

But some people are doubtful when their anti-virus rings the bell, thinking we're somehow trying to infect them (can't blame them for paying attention to their safety, that s a good attitude).

So, there's nothing I can really do right ?

@EvilPuncker: I have no clue tbh as I m not using AVG...

I ll find myself a demo version and try it out, I'll post here about it.

Thanks for the constructive comments.

There you go:

Your iROnic.exe,

is this your game exe or patcher?

Thor patcher will get marked as threat by avg. It´s normal(?) i think? XD

If it´s your game exe then it probably has to do with the hexing.

Had that problem once by hexing something manually and by editing something via ressource edit.

Hi Ainna,

You're correct : That's the Thor patcher folder....

So there's nothing to do except telling people to ignore/turn off AVG for the time they install ?
