trek.icd - virus infection or false positive?
I was doing a full system scan with Avast, and it recognized all my trek.icd as being infected. I am thinking it was a false positive, but has anyone else experienced this problem?
Also, in the process, the scanner ended up deleting the trek.icd file for my Hades install. I have the trek.icd from the CD-rom version... are they identical? If not, can anyone send me a copy of trek.icd from Hades 1.1? I didn't want to have to install again and wipe all my settings. Thanks.

Have you tried to run BOTF? if you have "no cd" setup or use multi installer it may not be needed.
I just removed the "trek.icd" file and game seemed to play normaly.
from what I found doing search on icd file extention it is a file to check for cd in cd rom by safedisc (Encrypted Digital Rights Management File)
I am tempted to remove it from multi installer, if some more testing is done to comfirm this file is no longer needed.
EDIT; I did some more checking of my older files from my files the trek.icd that is used is the one from jokers patch and is identical to the file released in the official 1.0.2 patch byte for byte compaired with ultraedit.

maybe it's related to online play?
back when it was microsoft runnin the multiplayer stuff, and modding for the game was nonexistant, you know, the MSN gaming zone, After a corruption of my comp corrupted a few files here and there on my system, BOTF stopped working online, but offline play was okay.

Someone already reported same issue just recently:
viewtopic.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1431
SCT pointed out that trek.icd is the encrypted game executable which previously has been used by the copyprotection that originally has been named "trek.exe" but is alot smaller. The copyprotection then got replaced with the decrypted trek.icd so trek.icd should be out of use by now and will only lead to more confusion I guess.
I had no issues playing without.

since the false positive by antivirus companies is increasing I have removed all multi installer files from this site. Until the anti virus companies change the status of icd file or new files are created.

were only trek.icd from mods only other files picked up?I run Avira AntiVir and it also picked up trek.icd as a threat along with parts of the other multi-installer games I have installed.
