I sent the file to ESET now becouse it aint a virus and this is not the first time that this hepend.

 

Hello,

Can you tell me what exactly threat was detected in the XLIVE.DLL file, the complete path to the file on your computer and which virus signature database version is currently installed for your copy of ESET Smart Security?

Hi Heit,

Thank you for your information and submission. Our virus specialists will analyze the file and respond accordingly.

In the meantime, as recommended previously by Cudni, you may want to add your file to exclusions in ESS/EAV by following these instructions:

How do I exclude certain files or folders from Real-time scanning?

Thank you.

 

To my best knowledge, packers that are mainly exploited by malware authors to evade analysis and subsequent detection by security software are detected as potentially unwanted applications, ie. the user must have opted for detection.

 

ESET 9/10 detects NO-CD/DVD's as a threat (as most AV's rightly will) and there is no easy way to get ESET to ignore them !

I have posted about setting files to ignore but as usual no real answer where as in other AV's its 1 click so simple.

As for the game in question I simply send them in for analysis, the funny thing is some were getting this on the legit files not the NO CD/DVD !

ESET no longer detects threat since that .DLL was updated on 24th !
