Hello,

Today when I wanted to start Tyranny, BitDefender said it found a virus in it and blocked it.
I uploaded the file to virustotal.com and two antiviruses (funny, not BitDefender) show that they found something fishy. Not a specific virus though. The rest of the 40 or so give it a clean bill of health. Also, the checksum match with previous uploads of that file, so it's not my file that has a virus and the rest don't.
I believe it's a false alarm, but still why would Tyranny do tricky things that would trip an antivirus? Anyone seeing something similar?

Well, I just tried to start the game after not playing it for a while and it asked for administrative privileges. Most likely the GOG update servers got hacked. Ironic.

UPDATE: Scanned the exe on virustotal too -- Detection ratio: 6 / 63.
Now I'm 99% sure GOG update servers got hacked.
