It was some other program, some viruses infect other programs to make the anti-virus blame on them, they do it mainly to a program you use a lot.

Hmm... That's the THIRD user posting about this issue since the last batch of updates. I'm thinking Avast is attacking the Roblox client for whatever reason.

Can you run a virus scan for me, using Avast?

Then what explains the other people don't having it?
It's Avast!'s fault.
All of the ones complaining about roblox virus said they used Avast!.

@Koen

Run a virus scan please.


I'm still wondering if the Roblox devs would look into this. It ONLY occurs with users with Avast, and they all have the same issue. The AV program alerts the user of a virus once Roblox is executed.


Also, make sure that your Roblox shortcut still leads to the correct destination. A clever way to steal account information on WoW is to modify the shortcut to lead to a program that mimics the WoW client and forwards any inputted information to the creator. Should the user try to log in, they'll get a fake error message.

Alright koen, what you need to do is what the above said. Run an anti virus client. Remove the stuff with the virus.

EVERYONE with Avast and others with this issue, please run a virus scan for me. I'm curious as to if it's Avast being oversensitive or of the users really have viruses.

The players who have this problem use Avast!.
My only explanation to this is that someone else out there is pretending the culprit is Roblox.

If Avast! is overreacting, just disable or remove it and get AVG and Malwarebytes.
