So I had a weird exeprience with my anti-virus (Kaspersky Internet Security) right now. Was playing the game just fine for the frist time, for an hour or so. Then it suddenly crashed during a quick safe, my anti-virus is freaking out telling me Pillars is a trojan. It deleted the entire game off my system.

So yeah. What the heck happened here? Anybody else experience something like this? And most importantly, what can I possibly do to not let this happen again?

I'm gonna try to re-install the game tomorrow but I rather not have this happen again because what the hell....

Kaspersky is being over-zealous. You need to send the executable to Kaspersky labs (zipped) and tell them the situation. They will check the file and update their databases.

Yeah in hindsight, wouldn't be the first time it acts a little too protective. :/ I guess for now i'll just try to force it to ignore Pillars or maybe turn it off completely while playing.

If you, or somebody else, doesn't send the file in they will never update their databases.
