![]() ![]() This is not feasible for an indie company that publishes fixes and updates often. IDP stands for Identity Detection Protection. It is, in fact, a generic term used by antimalware solutions for naming identity theft programs. This term is not limited to a single malware program. ![]() The only way to avoid false positives is to whitelist every single build of the game with every single AV company, a process that can take weeks. For the people who use security solutions like Avast or AVG, IDP.Generic might be a familiar term. For instance, under some circumstances reading memory backward with might seem like a buffer underflow attack to the heuristic algorithm. This means that often they implement strange memory access/management algorithms that are misinterpreted by AV software as potentially malicious since heuristics are rather dumb. ![]() The root issue here is that c++ game engines are built for performance and robustness is correctness. Here (although I'm pretty sure I read this suggestion somewhere else on steam where it also explained why false positives are common in games): Actually, seldom is the case where a game is marked as a threat, and is unheard of in the realm of triple A games. Where exactly do steam advocate such behavior? Customers should never be forced to disable their anti-virus just to play a game. Whats baffling is, that before launching the game, if I scan it with Avast, it detects nothing. Now, it happens on launch, which makes it impossible to launch the game. But before, it was doing that only after I quit the game. Submittimg every build to every antivirus company for whitelisting and waiting for them is unrealistic and would mean one update a year probably.įor that reason Steam recommends users to whitelist whole games directory. So, I have been having problem with Avast detecting Paladins.exe as an IDP.GENERIC for over a month now. With each update code changes so issues like this come and go.
