Help Forum Creatures 1 - Rootkits??    SquirrelNorn      8/29/2015 Hi, all! Gosh, I need to post more often! Okay, so I recently installed the GOG version of Creatures 1 onto my Windows 7 Home Premium PC, and everything went great, though I haven't played it yet. However, my computer ran a scheduled Avast virus scan, and it came up saying the Creatures 1 application and some associated applications such as Backup, Breeder's Kit and the Hatchery were rootkits! Has anyone else had this problem? Do you think something may have affected my download of the game? Or is this a false positive others have had before? Should I redownload and reinstall, just to be on the safe side? I downloaded Creatures 2 and Creatures Village at the same time as Creatures 1 and both of those appear unaffected. Thank you for any advice you may be able to offer! My pronouns are they/them.   Lollipop Lord C-Rex     8/29/2015 Hi! It's most likely a false positive. I doubt there's anything to worry about, although it might be a good idea to post about it on the GOG.com forums to inform other users in case they have the same issue with Avast.   SquirrelNorn   8/29/2015  1 Thanks for replying so soon! I'll make sure to do that. My pronouns are they/them.
