I dunno if this is Google being super-sensitive or Planetside complying with older web standards perhaps but... see attached image.
I just googled Terragen and it came up with a hack alert.
Interesting.
At my work I can't access these forums anymore as OpenDNS, used by my work, states that forums.planetside.co.uk poses a security threat.
Could this be somehow related?
This has been ongoing and still seems like a false positive. But once these things happen, they sometimes propagate around. We're working on getting de-listed. Thanks for the reports, of course.

I noticed this as well and it's rather alarming considering my antivirus seems convinced the Terragen 4 Beta is a virus. I've never had trouble with Terragen before, what's going on?

Avast?
"Got a reply from Avast................tgd.exe has been cleared and added to database so it shouldn't be a problem any more."http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,21707.0.html
Yeah, Avast. I'll try it again, thanks.
My antivirus also detected a virus in the Terragen 4 Beta. I use Trend Micro Maximum Security on Windows 10 Home. Here is the info it gave me:
Threat: HEU_AEGISCS934
Affected file: C:\Program Files\Planetside Software\Terragen 4 Beta\tgd.exe
Then it simply removed the file tgd.exe without warning.
This is the filename of the install file I downloaded:
Terragen_4_Beta_Win64_39040_light-icon.msi
Can you try this again when you get a chance? Hopefully the virus definitions have been updated by now.

I installed the beta again, now my antivirus was silent and I could run it without any problems. Thanks!
