Dealing with virus and/or Trojan alerts

When trying to download Play89™ pool software, I received a system message telling me that a Trojan had been detected. Is it a real alert?

This cannot, under any circumstances, be a real alert. The Play89™ pool software utilizes a Smart Downloader. This is a feature, which downloads the latest software updates every time you run the program. This action takes place simultaneously from several servers and thus, can be wrongfully interpreted by some anti-virus programs as a Trojan Horse. Needless to say, it is a False Positive. You are welcome to visit your anti-virus' company website for complete info about alerts, which are relevant for your system.

Play89™ sent me an e-mail with something that appears to be a virus. Why does this happen?

Virtually, all e-mail programs scan all incoming and outgoing messages to prevent the presence of any malicious activity. It is usually performed in bulk and that might cause confusion: in case you received an e-mail from Play89™ with a document attached to it and a spam/phishing e-mail with a virus attached to it (both at the same time), all attachments will get automatically blocked. For a solution, please talk to your system administrator.
