webman1200 10 Posted November 7, 2009 I just installed Kaspersky Security 2010. Every time I run ArmA 2, it detects the ArmA 2 installer as having similar activity to a keylogger. Now I'm pretty sure that Bohemia wouldn't install spyware on their customers' PCs. I don't know if this is just a false positive or what. I do have some add-ons installed from Armaholic.com, could that be it? ArmA 2 Version: 1.04 OS: Vista x64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted November 7, 2009 false positive, unless your arma copy is less than legit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webman1200 10 Posted November 8, 2009 false positive, unless your arma copy is less than legit... No way is it a fake copy! Unless PC stores have become corrupt. Besides, if it were fake, it wouldn't be working very well by now. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted November 8, 2009 In which case you can be assured that it is a false positive :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rampastein 10 Posted November 8, 2009 It's not a "false-positive"; it's just a common behavioral detection by Kaspersky. ARMA2 uses DirectInput (or another similar technology) which could be used by malware for acquiring passwords. Just add ArmA2.exe to KIS' exclusions as a keylogger (or as a trusted application) and it shouldn't alert you anymore (open KIS -> Settings -> Threats and Exclusions -> Trusted Applications -> Add ArmA2's executable and check "Do not monitor application activity" -> OK -> OK -> OK). Yes, I'm using KIS myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falke1976 10 Posted November 8, 2009 Its the same with Norton Internet Security, especially the beta patch 59928 is "suspicious" ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lt_darkman 0 Posted November 8, 2009 I have the same Internet Security package and I don't get any warnings. I wonder if it's the extra stuff you downloaded? P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
