    runescape.exe - Virus?

    I just logged on to my computer and ran runescape.exe (from Runescape.com). Instantly, this message came up:

    [​IMG]

    I healed it, re-downloaded and the same message came up.

    Anyone else getting this?

    AVG thinks everything is a virus, i had a notepad file with some c++ language in it, it classed it as a virus.

    I suggest getting Kaspersky/NOD32

    I've never seen that before, since I didn't know people actually use that awful firewall / virus detector program. If you really have your doubts about it, just reinstall.

    Norton, AVG, all of them are for people who know nothing about computers and just want to keep it clean.

    Norton and AVG especially suck, they slow your computer down ALOT.
    I definitely recommend trying kapersky or NOD32

    I was running Kaspersky a few weeks ago, although my trail ran out. I've been looking for a crack but can't find one, so until I find one I'm stuck with AVG / Norton.

    Get avast! Just as good as kaspersky, if not the best anti-virus out there. I can get you a key for the pro version too.
