eli5 Why do anti viruses flag illicit software as viruses even if there are none?
In: 8
Anti Virus scans code to detect viruses.
So when you download that TotallyLegitGame, the software will scan all the codes, and when it sees certain lines designed to “crack” anti-piracy software, which looks suspiciously like the codes that try to “crack” computer security, it gets flagged.
