Red Alert 2 insallation

[jamnelms]

I have downloaded "CnCNet5_RA2_YR_Installer_v3.3.0.1" file and my anti-virus says it removed viruses,. Also after installing and trying to run game it says a file is missing and wont load. Please Advice.

Uninstall your overly paranoid antivirus and get a proper one. The YR client is safe and has no malicious code.

Hello,

If CnCNet has been blocked or flagged by your anti-virus there are a few things to note. 

• Firstly, this warning is often nothing to worry about. Anti-virus software often flag new files as a false positive, mainly because they have discovered a new file on your system they haven't seen before. This is very common in software development, especially for small scale developers such as ourselves. 
• Other ways a file could be flagged as a false positive is the way we protect the software from being decompiled. Some of our software is protected for reasons to keep CnCNet services safe and secure.

Important steps you can take:

• You can remove this block by allowing it as an exception to your Antivirus firewall.
• Submit the file in question to a site such as Virus Total, where it will scan the file against other anti-virus definitions. You will probably find your anti-virus will be listed, among some of the others, but as a rule the ratio should be low, and this is fine.
• To help us stop these alerts, you can submit a report to your antivirus software company, they will scan the file in question that has been flagged, and it will be reviewed and will come back as a false positive.

Thank you for your advice, my antivirus is Norton. Just wondered if the file was worth getting checked out as I know so many places have had issues lately.

I'll have another look later when I get on my laptop and upload what my antivirus says.
