Avast behavior shield 2017

October 9, 2017, 8:41pm 1 Hello,I have just installed the game Stronghold 3 through my Steam library. After it finished downloading and installing the game itself, it started to check for and/or install some version of DirectX and some Microsoft Visual C++ stuff automatically. While it was doing that, my monitor’s resolution suddenly changed in a very weird way and I got a virus warning from Avast saying “We have blocked the threat Stronghold3.exe so it can’t harm your computer.” - under that it says this was detected by the Behavior Shield (see my screenshot was pretty sure that must be a false positive, so I added the game to the exceptions list, after which the game automatically started (in very low resolution), and after I set the game’s resolution on max and exited the game, my monitor’s resolution was back to normal too. Now I have 2 questions:Is my assumption correct that this is a false positive? If yes, what triggered the “detection”?I added the game’s .exe to the exceptions as I mentioned, but when I go to Avast’s settings (settings → general → exceptions), there is nothing there. Why is that?Thanks for any help.

Avast told you ... as you said above > under that it says this was detected by the [b]Behavior Shield[/b] Weiku October 9, 2017, 10:23pm 3 It’s just an official Steam game’s .exe file, only 2 scanners on Virustotal say they detect something, not Avast though (Bkav says: “W32.HfsAutoB.3B51”, Cylance says: “Unsafe”).Also yes, obviously the Behavior Shield triggered the detection, but why? How can a normal, well-known game “behave” like a virus?And if someone could answer question no. 2, I’d be very thankful. That one is the more important one anyway. Looked up Stronghold 3 on steam and found Stronghold 3 Gold? Is this the game you’re referring to? It’s not exactly a well-known game, with around 1750 reviews, most of which bash the game…Anyways, objectivity
