6 years ago The reason the other trackers don't get picked up by AVs is because they only read the game's memory. Statman actually injects code into the game (in memory, it doesn't ever touch the game or any other files on your drive), which by some AVs is interpreted as malicious activity. I'll release a version signed with my personal code signing certificate, which could reduce the amount of false detections. I'll reply to this issue once that's done.
In fact there are so many issues popping up with a large array of affected files which my Bitdefender ends up blocking and/or destroying (including Blood Money's main executable which is now gone, and several Nvidia related files) that I'm doubting whether I should even try to let it do its thing in full trust, especially because it also tries to connect to the internet.
Either way this kind of renders the app useless to me because unless I completely disable my antivirus and Advanced Threat Defenses forever, it'll nab one of the files whenever I turn anything on again. The popular Hitman statistics tracker for SA and Contracts doesn't yield any response or problems from my antivirus, and it does all its tracking just fine.
Surely this should be workable without these issues. This App scores more Alerts than I do when I have Mass Murderer ratings.
