Default There might be a worm in Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon

Hi,

Avast (antivirus) thinks this game "Sinbad and the Throne of the Falcon" http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/44...he+Falcon.html has a worm inside. Maybe he's wrong, but I thought I should tell you nontheless.

The file donwload url is [removed]

Sincerely,
Ollie.

What he meant to say is that anti-virus programs arent really friendly towards old DOS-games, usually thinking their weird old files are viruses, so its probably a false alarm.

Avast must be fearing that their rivals shall dominate them.

@The Fifth Horseman Avast is so dumb I couldn't even find a detailed report
@Juanca Oh ok, I tried searching for this kind of thing but didn't find anything.

I thought it was a false alarm. Please feel free to close/delete this thread.
