Hey, I just downloaded the mirror of the new Alpha version of TTW and when I extracted the zip to folder came up with virus on file sharpbsa.dll. Is this file needed to actually install TTW?
This is TJ. I'm hijacking this very first post in this thread to post this, just so it can be squashed right up front.

The virus was malware and detected by Webroot. When Webroot find and clean a virus, it dumps and deletes the file with it, which was sharpbsa.dll. I, even tried move to folder from the 7-zip and it hooked, scan with webroot and it came up again.
BSAsharp.dll, and when I'm extract with 7-zip the same fuction error.
webroot find this when extracting the file to the computer.
I need help to understand this.
Antivirus used to only detect virus or files infected by virus, but that meant they were always one step behind since they couldn't detect new virus that were just created.
So antivirus companies started to make their products detect "Threat Files" which are files that the antivirus doesn't recognize and assume it is a virus, even without knowing if it is or not (just to be sure) this is called just like Roy said above "False Positives", most antivirus allow the user to flag or choose to ignore those files if the user knows they are safe and other antivirus even allow the user to send a copy of the file to the antivirus company so they can analyze it and make their product not detect it as a virus anymore if it is not one 
.
Antivirus usually flag files that are not dangerous if they are .dll or .ini and in this case it looks like it was the BSAsharp.dll I can say that the one included in the installer is not a virus and if it was we would have hundreds or thousands of users telling us it was 
.
Just throwing in here that Webroot is a valid antivirus (BestBuy pushes it hard). I use the same one, and have to disable it when I update.
Strangely enough, its only been this way for the last few months. Before that Webroot completely ignored the TTW download. 
be sure to report it to the antivirus that it's falsely flagging something. especially since we have no desire to destroy your computer or hijack your anything. that way leads to finding out your fetishes and none of us are actually interested in those.
So basically I should for disable it for a extract it to computer. And use it. I'm not sure what to do.
