For some reason, install files made with Install Creator won't work because it says it has a trojan. I've tested it, making a short and simple installer with it, and it found the same trojan called "Unone". Does anyone know how to make McAffee ignore this?

OMG!

On McAfee, it says that the trojan is part of Clickteam's install creator!

See for yourself.

Sometimes virus software gets confused and will identify a file which may resemble a virus, or have some similarities with a trojan file...

That, or Clickteam are using trojans to spy on the folk who use their products.

Clickteam would never spy on their customers with trojans!!

It's a problem in McAfee at the moment, it's falsely detecting Install Creator files as viruses. It should be fixed in the next virus definition files.

I hope the next definition is made soon. It's deleted all the install files for my games.

Check www.clickteam.com. Theres a warning about this, and how the scanner incorrectly diagnoses IC as a virus. Just ignore it.

Install creator is pointless. Just get MMF instead. Or use TGF's built in one, although i heard that one is faulty.

Actually, the built-in installers are pointless. Install Creator gives you great flexibility. If you plan on updating your game, you can add a registry key, and get the updater to look at the key and insert the proper location.

You can also install multiple dll files, or avi files in subdirectories, or lots of stuff. Quite useful for larger games.
