Avira. lol. xD

Just use MSE/Defender. With common sense and built-in firewall + MBAM it's more than good.

Thunderstone: Most likely false positive. Unless gog has been compromised I highly doubt that the any of the games here are actually infected with something. If you think the game has malicious code in it then I recommend contacting support.
But how come my Origin version of Crysis did not have any issues after all these years I had it intalled?

Hi,
in some cases legitimate applications use similar techniques with malicious software to access resources or wire things up.

I presume that the GOG version needs some way to bypass the game's DRM, without breaking the game.

And it is known that Antipiracy groups and antivirus groups have worked together before. While they can't outright stop you, they could easily try to scare you like this if you try and bypass the DRM, as GOG has.

FFS, of course there's a virus. Because, you know, that's part of GOG's business model. No way in hell that could be a false positive from a free antivirus suite. No. No way at all. GOG's going to release a virus-laden installer to their customers. Yep.
