Our Security team works closely with many anti-virus software providers to make sure they support the latest versions of the FreeRide Games Player, so if your anti-virus program is detecting our Player or games as a threat, you might want to check whether you have the latest versions of both your anti-virus software and our Player.

Here are some handy Q&A’s you may find interesting in relation to this matter:

What is an anti-virus?
Anti-virus software is used to protect your computer from harmful programs by preventing them from being installed and removing them if they perform a harmful operation.

What is a Firewall?
A Firewall is a type of software that monitors the Internet traffic on your computer and blocks harmful programs from accessing your computer from the Internet.

What is a Security Pack?
A security pack is a bundle of security software from the same brand. A security pack may include an anti-virus a firewall and additional software as well.

How can I tell what security software is installed on my computer?
Go to your computer’s start menu –> Settings –> Control Panel –> Security center
Or
Press the “Start” key simultaneously with the “R” key –> write “control panel” and click ok –> Security center.

What is a “False positive”?
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.

Game Review: Victorian Mysteries – Woman in White

By Free Ride Gamer Team on May 19th, 2011

If you’re looking for juicy mystery combined with amazing visuals and a good storyline, the Hidden Object game Victorian Mysteries: Woman in White should do the trick! Based on the 1858 serial “The Woman in White”, one of the earliest mystery novels ever to be published, the game sticks close enough to the facts for those who have read and enjoyed the novel.

 

Victorian Mysteries: Woman in White begins as our hero’s train breaks down and he has to walk the rest of the way to Cumberland on a dark chilly night. Leaving difficult times behind in London, Walter Hartright is busy contemplating his new position as an Art Teacher at Limmeridge House when he suddenly runs into a mysterious woman dressed in white who seems to be hiding from something… or someone?

While initially he thinks nothing of it, the plot thickens when he arrives at Limmeridge House only to realize that one of his students – Laura Fairlie – bears an astonishing resemblance to the woman in white who, rumor has it, escaped from an asylum.
