Ares Is A Trojan?

[Cyrus]

Well since I installed the latest vesion of Ares, my antivirus AntiVir went apeshit stating that Ares.exe is a trojan horse called TR/Agent.968704 even though it has no info on it. Is this a false alarm by any chance or is Ares really a trojan?

Is it upx compressed? If so, it is a false alarm

I have no idea... how can I find out? Though I seriously doubt Ares would have a trojan in it, on that note how can I tell AntiVir to ignore that file? I can't seem to find an ignore always option. When I run Ares I am spammed by popups of it asking me what to do and I'd have to say ignore endlessly.


EDIT: Problem solved, I emailed them the file and got this response:

"Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your recent inquiry.

We could not find a virus in the attachment you have sent us. This is
a false positive. We will take out the pattern recognition in one of

Now that's quality service.

I had to bump this thread to mention that they already patched it. In less than 24 hours from when I emailed them, they responded and released a new patch. Amazing, now I'm actually considering buying their pro version or whatever rather than using the free version. This would be the first software I've bought since Diablo II.

That's great to hear.
