Be aware! Sims 4 base game and Sims 4 Get to Work full of Trojan.gen and Hacktool.Scan!

middler wrote:You as Games4theworld ensures us as downloaders that the downloads are free from viruses. This is not the case!

In the Sims 4 base game were detected in an very essential file called rll.dll en rllorigin.dll:

Trojan.Gen and Trojan.Gen.2

In the Sims 4 Get to Work were detected:

Hacktool.Scan and threats in compressed file

I'm very disappointed in your service and I will not make use of your services and I strongly recommend others not to do so.
How do you explain how this is possible?

I would like to elaborate more on this, since many people are not aware of it: now why are so many modern crack files of games/software detected as virusses ? (I'm not a learned "computer scientist", but I'll still try and explain).

Back then, when games & software did not need any "internet activation", you got an "insert a CD/DVD" prompt when trying to run a game, without a disc. Usually, you were able to edit a few entries in .exe and .dll files, and thereby you could bypass this prompt.

Nowadays, many games evolve around software like Steam or Origin, and you cannot simply edit a few entries in .exe files anymore. The way things work, is that you need to "emulate" the behavior of game clients like Steam or Origin, within your crack files. When the game or software executes, it does not only execute the actual game/software, but also these "embedded" game client emulators too.

And this behavior in turn, is very typical of virusses. But does that necessarily mean that everything that the anti-virus program "detects", is really a virus ? Of course not.  

On behalf of the G4TW team, I can tell you that ALL the releases from us are safe to use. You may or may not believe this, but that is all I can say.

Hope you found this small "excursion" informative. Have fun again !

If there is anything else we can help you with, feel free to post back.

No problem, it's OK.   But I will also tell you this here: if you really want to play a pirated Sims 4 game, then I guess you will always encounter these messages, unfortunately. For better or worse, there is no way around this "type" of crack, if you want to play a pirated Sims 4. And I would not recommend buying the game either, honestly, because it is far too expensive, especially if you consider all those (future) DLC and expansions.
