Hello, new to the community and to Shockwave and already I have a problem.
Having played ZH for many years and enjoying every bit of it I have become bored of the normal play and decided to get a new mod, so after doing some searching I came across Shockwave and downloaded it. Now once it was downloaded I extracted the file and opened up the installer and the mod was installed without any problems so after that I tested it out and liked what I saw however, about halfway through a skirmish round on a 2 player map my anti virus started singing and a popup came up telling me that shw_nor.exe was infected with a trojan. Okay, so I decided to remove the file but for whatever reason AVG failed to remove it...Or had it? After checking the ZH folder there was no such file in there. Good I thought...I'll try re-installing the mod to see if that fixes things and nope, another popup came up saying there are behavioral changes from the shw_11.exe so I had to remove that as well. I had downloaded the mod through MODDB/Gamefront. I recommend everyone should scan the .exe before installing the mod. |

Sorry for the double post.
After downloading SHW mod again, re-scanning with AVG found no threats. After this I started doing a full scan of the pc and opened up the SHW launcher, clicked on start and the game started however due to a lot of lag I had ended the process and not five minutes after that an AVG popup window was shown on screen with the same message as I had yesterday. IDP.Trojan.512A4614 It seems that such a threat keeps originating with the shw_nor.exe and also infects the Shw_11.exe... I am wondering if anyone has a non-infected shw_nor.exe or the installer?

I'm pretty sure that Shockwave isn't infected by a Trojan and you security system just thinks that it is I also have AVG and it thinks the same thing and I've disregarded it and let Shockwave run and have yet to encounter any problems

AVG is just a bit trigger-happy with the virus detection.
