This is just as an FYI. Avira's threat analysis of softpulse doesn't sound all that bad, but the description of it "calls other webpages" sounds like the launcher?
Anyway located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\repair.exe [DETECTION] Contains patterns of software PUA/Softpulse.Gen
AVG doesn't report the issue, nor does MSE or Malwarebytes. On my machine anyway. |

Same here. Here is a description of the softpulse.gen from another website.
Quote:PUP.Optional.SoftPulse.gen is a threat detected by MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and several Antivirus or Anti-Malware software vendors.

Is CCP installing adware now? Not making enough from subscriptions? |

Avira reported same warning on my system as well, first time anything has been flagged related to EVE. Would be appreciated if we could get a comment from CCP regarding changes in the last update which must be causing this. Would be interesting to know if any other anti-virus software are picking up on this, otherwise maybe this is a problem with Avira? |

I too have received this warning. I will take no action as of right now until further notice as I am on a Mac and this is a Windows platform curiosity. Fortunately Avira has quarantined it automatically. |

Considering the exe hasn't been modified since 2011, it's safe to say that it's a false positive. PUA detections can be like that on occasion. |

same here:
repair. exe
PUA/Softpulse.Gen
(PUA means potentially unwanted application by Ariva)
Rescan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to be sure imho, else it's a misread or CCPgames did something wrong.
The players will make a better version of the game, then CCP initially plans.

If it was an error you'd think they'd mention it right away, especially since there is a thread about it. Delete it. I did. |
