Title: Can't run the game
Post by: tinaun on December 17, 2010, 15:58:06

Every time i try to run the game, my antivirius pops up and says that "infected file ....\Temp\stdrt.exe has been dectected"


What is that? is there any whey to remove it or run the game besides disabling my anti-virus every time?

I don't think there's any way around it: the way Multimedia Fusion games work, the stdrt.exe file is created every time you run the game, and it's deleted when you quit.

Depending on which antivirus software you have, there may be a way to "whitelist" this file, add exceptions or something like that; I'm not an expert on that though. You could also run the game inside a virtual machine, but I guess that'd be a bit too much for just a game.

Which antivirus are you using?

There are 2 possibilities. Either you have a virus on your pc that infected the game, or its a false positive.

There are a couple threads on the ClickTeam forums about antivirus apps reporting that file. Might be worth checking it out:

I can assure you it's a false positive and that there's nothing wrong with stdrt.exe.
