My Kaspersky VS is finding malicious files every time I try to update the gog launcher. Is this a false positive?

Yes.

That is the 2nd time this week I've heard about Kaspersky doing this. I've never heard of this AV until now. What is it, the new Norton? :P

Kaspersky is a KGB tool. :D

malwarebytes + windows defender perfect free combo, Thank god I stop using norton

It's actually fairly well regarded as far as non-free AVs go.

On the contrary, it's one of the best. I'm considering switching to it from my free Avast, which is slowly turning into a malware itself...

I hope you people realize how totally fucking lost I'd be without all of you. :P

You mean you ain't lost now?

Kaspersky has always been known for false positives; it's kind of a feature, not a bug. I used it at the office for a few years and liked it better than the other usual suspects (Norton, Trend Micro).

Okay let me change that.

How totally fucking more lost I'd be.

I would say that false positives are better than false negatives in anti-virus programs. Stupid pop ups every ten minutes... I kinda like the new browser though (which, I will note, was installed without asking permission).
