today 4-26-10 i was trying to play Left 4 Dead 2 it wasnt lunching. i did everything i can think of to make it run even uninstall it and install it back in. but then my AVG was picking up Left4Dead.exe as a very high level threat and was labling it Win32/GameHack.C and it was under spyware/malware.

i let AVG block it and delete the file that cuase me to re-do a install again.

but this time my AVG picked up again and as the threat but i allowed the action and now i can play the game.

im a bit concern for allowing the game to get passed my AVG. is there anything should i worry about? or its just a false positive?

Yeah left 4 dead 2 is a virus, if you don't watch out it will turn you into a zombie. If your fat you will explode when someone shoots you, if your doing steoroids you will get extremely muscular and ugly and people named bill will yell "Taaaank" at you, if your tongue is just slightly longer than normal you will be able to pull people away with it from far distances, and the list continues.

Which is garbage.

Kaspersky is the best, but the scan is extremely slow, still it's one of the best if not the best when it comes to fixing/removing viruses.

Kaspersky really is great, but if you want free get Microsoft Security Essentials.

Either its a false positive, or two other possibilites. You wanted to cheat, so you used a file that injects into the game executable thus making it appear as though it was a virus (assuming you downloaded some bogus infected cheating utility), or you pirated the game and it came equipped with a virus. I'm not saying that either of those are likely, but both can be possibilites. :P
