That's just a suspicion caused by the code of the zip archive and the cynicalness of your virus scanner.

But really, there is no virus in Project64k. You can accept it or refuse it, but there isn't one. Everyone on this site uses it.

well, I am going to trust you on this one, but even if everyone uses the program, it doesn't mean it doesn't have a virus :p thanks again

Maybe it doesn't, but this site's been here since 2001, and thousands of users post threads about it. The possibility that all of the users who posted these ten thousands of threads just to make it seem convincing that the program is not a virus is so low that it may as well be considered null.

Anyway, glad to help.;)

Definitely false positive. The scanner (of which has a name I don't even recognise) that detected a virus (or should I say a suspect CRC) probably has a very poor detection engine that generates many false alerts. Nothing to see here.

One site told me that Kaspersky is too complicated and relatively ineffective. It was a virus-scanner's website giving information about each kind of virus scanner. It said that Kaspersky was the eighth best and, second to Norton, the most expensive. It said that BitDefender was the best virus scanner and, second to FProt for Windows, the cheapest.

Just some info.

I have BitDefender Professional, and it's good except for a few false positives and a few annoying features -- which can be disabled, in exchange for somewhat poorer protection.

It's legit too, with a renewing yearly license. Oh well.

Who cares anyway?

I didn't expect anyone to care. Just pointing out that all virus scanner, despite how good, are prone to false positives.
