Ok, you may remember that I reported Desert Combat 0.5L as being improperly tagged with "Positive identication" by TDS 3.21.

Well, past weekend Desert Combat 0.7 was released.

Can you already guess what happens with it? :)

Yes, exact same false positive identification:

Alarm: Positive Identification
Name: (empty)
File: desert_combat_full-0.7.exe

You can download the 605 MBYTE DC 0.7 file from:

http://www.gamershell.com/news_BF1942BDesertCombatBv0.7.shtml

...and verify it for yourself.

Again, if I disable exec protection, disable tds, install DC 0.7, re-start TDS, re-start exec protection, re-scan the folder where I installed DC 0.7, then I get nothing. Not even a single warning.

Best regards,
Halcyon

Looks like the explanation Gavin gave, so large!
How do your other scanners react on this one?

None of my other scanners react to the aforementioned Desert Combat install files.


I also agree that it could be due to size.
