A “false positive” – also known as a false detection or false alarm – is when antivirus software identifies a non-malicious file as a virus.
False positives usually occur when an antivirus program detects a known virus string in an uninfected file. The file, while not infected with an actual virus, does contain a string of characters that matches a string from an actual virus.
A false positive can also occur when a program performs an action, which appears to the antivirus program to be a virus-like activity.
Why our software may mistakenly be detected as harmful?
Some security software may detect our games as a threat because of their copy protection system, or our Internet based delivery system. We work with many anti-virus software providers to ensure that they support the latest version of the FreeRide Games Player in order to prevent such threat detections. We assure you that our games and software are not harmful in any way.
