Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition

Viruses and worms
1

I have the PC DVD-ROM version of an arcade game compilation called Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition. I primarily use the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 portion of the compilation because of the Mortal Kombat games.

Now this is the problem: In the Midway Arcade Treasures 2 game folder, there are several .exe files (the main one being ffe.exe). For the past few months avast has been labeling most to all of the exes as suspicious items and moving them to the virus vault. Thus I can’t play the compilation anymore unless I turn avast shields off.

I know the compilation doesn’t have viruses in it. I used to play it all the time on several computers and they never had any trouble with it. Is there a way I can make all the .exe files so that they can’t be identified as suspicious items and/or viruses? Not just by avast but by any antivirus program? I want to be able to enjoy this great compilation again!

Did you update the file to VirusTotal, what flagged it.
Their are various variants of that file: http://www.isthisfilesafe.com/filename/ffe.exe_details.aspx

98 % decide to keep it, so you could file a FP,

All went well, Midway Arcade Treasures is no longer classified as a virus by avast, and I can enjoy the compilation again! Thanks again for your help!
