I scanned my computer 'couse I thought I had 342 different malwares like last time I had to take it to repair. But no. There was nothing this time. Maybe my surfing habits have chanced into more normal and less creepy. :mrgreen: Except for one thing... After the scan had finished, Avast started to shout like OH MA GOD!! YOU DIE! YOU DIE! DO SOMETHING! YOUR COMPUTER WILL EXPLODE!! And when I checked the results, there was only this little note that said something like "Packet has dangerously many files." (It was in Finnish so I'm not sure what it is in English.)

Does it really mean anything or is Avast just trying to piss me off on purpose?

I would go with the second idea; Avast just hates you.
Since the warning isn't really a warning, just something suspicious. Also, no one else has reported a virus problem with Kenshi. I'd ignore it.

I have avast and kenshi, and I have not seen this. Um..342 malwares? That might impress some people around here...well Kamos, at least...that is one person. I think it is a person.

Hmmm.....it seems Avast has some issues with Kenshi. I recommend counselling (Because its just not healthy for Avast to be jealous of Kenshi's superior quantity of files)

I got avast and it never told me anything about Kenshi being bad... :? i'd just ignore it

You should always proofread carefully to make sure you didn't any words out.

Need help? pm me or any other mod.

I think it's nothing as well. I'm just interested in hearing if anyone has ever had Avast telling something about too many files about anything. It just sounds weird...

Has anyone done boot-time scan with Avast after getting Kenshi? If has, why it says only I have too many files?

I don't even have any mods in it which might increase files. I have different copy of Kenshi to play with mods since I'm pretty newcomer in modding and that prevents me screwing up too bad. :D
