Holdem manager 2 built in trojan
Kaspersky just detected a Trojan after I installed the trial version from their site. I uninstalled holdem manager rescanned my pc no viruses, then I reinstalled HEM 2, again same thing. Kaspersky is never wrong so are the f**king assholes mining data from our PC's and sending them to the NSA or whatever?

False positives happen. I got one the other day with Odds Oracle 2.27 and Avast Internet Security. It insisted it was a virus. Checked a wide variety of scanners, and only Avast was triggered. Checked against another RIO member for good measure, and he found nothing.
Reported it as a false positive to Avast, and informed Odds Oracle guy. Then made an override of Avast, and installed it.
If Odds Oracle guy is evil, I guess I am doomed, but I highly doubt it. ;-)
conspiracy ^^
Tried everything, doesn't let me install it anymore, even tho I added it to exceptions
I apologize for the delay. I am still not sure where to look in forums here.
These are false positives. We do not do anything like that. I have not seen this with Kasperksy. Avast and Avira do it a lot.
Please see this FAQ to alleviate any security bottlenecks:

Imo AV's are useless. A negative doesn't tell you something is clean (even if 40 different AV's all agree it's clean), and a positive can be false. Just have to take preventative measures like using open-source software whenever possible, and sandboxing your browser. For software I don't trust but want to install (i.e., Skype), I only do so in a virtual machine. (HEM is probably one I'd trust though. But I play on Bovada.)
