Guys

When i started my BlackOps 2…i got this alart saying this file is infected! Now i cant join the game…Someone Please help me and remove this thing, so i can start playing again!!i Even scan the steam folder which blackops2 is in it!! and says no threat found

2

Same here. File is:
D:\Gamez\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II\binkw32.dll

And I did report it as false positive.

3

Are you able to start your game ? Tho ?

4

Sadly no, never starts. I think that binkw32.dll is used for video playback.
EDIT:
Meant those intro movies in game.

5

What’s the deal? Just bought this game and no work arounds are posted on the web. Do I actually have to uninstall my virus protection to get this to work? Unacceptable!!!

6

Me too!!!. I can´t start my Black Ops 2, cause detect the last update as a virus??? Please fix it!!!

13

Just restore binkw32.dll from Avast and update the virus definitions and BLOPS2 works! YAY!

14

Can u please tell me where is the file binkw32.dll located at? I know i deleted mine cos of avast…i redownloaded binkw32.dll …does it depend where i keep the DLL ?

I think you better fix Black Ops 2 installation from Steam:
Go to Library > Right click Black Ops 2 > Properties > Local File > Verify integrity of game cache

If you want manually do it, copy binkw32.dll to Black Ops 2 directory. I have Steam installed in D: driver:
D:\Gamez\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II.

If you have installed it on C: it could be here (not sure if that Steam folder is default name for it):
Win7 64-bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II.

Win7 32-bit and Win XP:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Black Ops II.

EDIT:
Fixed missing info on Steam fix section

16

Is the game working for you now ?

17

Yes, I can play Black Ops 2 now.

18

GUYS I got my thing working!! i re-downloaded steam!! it worked perfectly

19
