Install Problem

[ZachOwns]

When I try to install MTA it is alerted as Adware, is that meant to happen? i'm unsure about instaling it now, any comments would be appreciated.

if you downloaded it from

https://mtasa.com/

then it's safe to install.

What antivirus said it contain adware (btw: weird. Adware is software that is displaying advertises - MTA isn't )?

Norton and one other antiviruses are giving false positive.

And why some AV says it's dangerous:

MTA is modifying GTA memory while running to achieve multiplayer gameplay - some viruses are doing the same, but not with GTA but your whole Windows. That's why some AV's are giving false alarms.

Well I downloaded it from that url to being with so if its safe then I will just turn off the AV program to allow it to install and hopefully it will be ok, thanks .

Some AV's or firewall can also block moment of running MTA - you need to disable them until main menu appears. Then you can re-enable to be safe
