my pc says virus detected.

BE CAREFUL

False positive. Hopefully my next game doesn't randomly trigger some antivirus company's stupid heuristics.

What does false positive mean? 

Imagine taking a cookbook through airport security. A security agent might find phrases like "Heat to 450°" and "Poke holes in the skin to stop it from exploding" and take your cookbook away.

Antivirus software is like an airport security agent. A false positive is when they take away your cookbook thinking it is a bomb.
