Hello!
Recently avast detected a threat in my game starter file (the game itself was a crack, although other users told me they have never experienced the files to be infected) and moved it to quarantine. Playing this game quite often I was worried it would crash my save files and whatnot, so I wanted to fix the file infected rather than deleting it. The free version wouldn’t do it so I bought another program that demanded avast to be uninstalled prior to its installation. Being the fool that I was, I agreed to it and now the avast files seem to be wiped out. I cannot find the game starter file or the quarantine folder and I’m worried it might be gone forever. Can I somehow still restore it? I wanted to run safety test on it with my new program

so I wanted to fix the file infected rather than deleting it.And how do you want to fix it?
you can upload and check files here www.virustotal.com
No clue on the how part, I figured the antivirus program would be able to tell me whether I can actually fix the file or not. I wanted to ask before attempting re-installing the game!
The only files that can be fixed is system files injected with malicious code (removing the malicious code) from a real virus that are rare today
A file made as malicious can not be cleaned/fixed as the hole file containe malicious code
Also any file downloaded from the net can always be downloaded again
Recently avast detected a threat in my game starter fileWhat did avast say? ... malware name given
Thank you for that information!
I do realize I can download the file again, but it’s the installing process I dread as only one file is missing among many, many others and I would love to avoid ruining those which stayed and keeping my save files. I will try though, doing a backup on a pendrive maybe. Also, I have been playing that crack for a couple of months now and it only recently showed up as infected. Could it be a false alarm from the antivirus, or not really?
Avast mentioned something about some malware, but I do not remember what it was exactly.
