Which NOD do you use that works with allegiance? I don't really like Avira and those damn popups!

V4.0.424.0 if that helps.
This is on XP x64

Why has nobody pointed out that the false-positive in question concerns a file which has absolutely nothing to do with allegiance?
It has absolutely nothing to do with Allegiance.
There.

So that means.... what then exactly?

What baker says.
Also, a filename doesn't mean the real thing always.
Nevertheless, it's either a false positive or a smart virus sitting somewhere (probably not in Alleg AU itself) and listening for the right opportunity to attack (specific open ports etc). I have AU many times in the past and never had something similar.

Got it today for the first time on autoupdate. Antivir.
Sure it's false positive. What's changed?

If you suspect your anti virus system is compromised you can use one of the free LiveCD's from known brands. You boot your computer from a cd completely ignoring Windows startup.
You must make sure that boot from cd is supported on your computer.
Make a backup of the important data, and have the Windows and application software cd handy.
Burn the images to a cd on a clean computer.
Follow the directions on the manufacturers website. The three LiveCD's most easy to use are:
F Prot LiveCD
Dr Web Live CD
Avira
F prot is the only one with an update feature if you have a working internet connection. The other 2 must be thrown away if a new version is published.

Looking at the folder of the file I see:
Xenocode\Sandbox
I guess it has to do with Allegiance/ASGS.

It's easy to say it's a false positive or to "get another game",but that isn't going to stop this from chasing away players.
It just happened to me..same directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\E\Local Settings\Application Data\Xenocode\Sandbox\2.2.3337.18747\2009.02.19T16.33\Native\STUBEXE\@PROGRAMFILES@\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\DW\DW20.EXE
I'll ignore it,but it's giving us a bad name.

For the people with some knowledge, it is giving the av programmes a bad name.
