I'd just started downloading this again as it was flagged as being updated (already? isn't this brand new to GOG?), and MS Security Essentials pops up saying "this file needs further investigation" (or something like that)! It didn't happen when I first downloaded it after buying it only yesterday. I've not even had the chance the install the game yet!

MSSE then asked to "send this to Microsoft" so they could examine it!!!!!

I've never ever seen this before on anything!

Is this some kind of malware masquerading as MS Security? Or have GOG slipped up here and let something nasty through their normally tight nets?

PS/ Just tried redownloading this update a second time as a test - and no MSSE warnings this time!

MSE does that for some files not often indexed by Windows but this is not security alert, for example it's asking for further investigation of opera unistaller and such stuff.

Just so you know the update wasn't of the game files, it was a few more items added to the bonuses.
Here's the thread: http://www.gog.com/forum/fear_platinum/new_bonus_goodies_added_to_fear_platinum
GOG really should have a better way of telling you what's updated though.
