Why do games do this

Why do some games initiate false alarm of an anti virus?
what is going there?
also anti viruses have an in-game-mode or similarly called function which prevents false alarm
so what does the game do to trigger the anti virus?
Answer #1
It could be anything buddy. A change to the registry, movement of files. But mostly due to packing algorithms in the game. Some virus’s have these too, the anti-virus cant read the code, so it triggers an alarm, it is annoying i know!
Answer #2

Well but its strange that anti-viruses have the game-play option. Cracks are not legal part of the game, why would anti-viruses count on something illegal

Answer #9
Because, what a crack (or a patch – same thing, except you don’t have to copy+paste the files into the location, or change the reg) is is it a modified .exe section of the game.
Some LAME DRM’s are:
Star Wars Battlefront II – you don’t hit launcher, you just go into \gamedata\ folder and click on BattleFrontII.exe and the game plays – see? What the launcher is doing, is starting the DRM before the game!
But cracking also puts the .exe out a bit… as we have to change code, it can also seem (or look) like virus’s… and 50% of the time, they are! Only if you get them from a trusted person – like Skidrow or Reloaded (the two big ones).
Or even SnD or FFF or cRUDE
Answer #10
They are probably false positives, on warez-bb you don’t really have to worry about viruses if you download from trusted uploaders.
Answer #11
yes Maximum Case in Crack keygen. and its false positive. doesn’t ham your PC.
Answer #12
Because they are exe files by which the program may run and cause virus replication(like a program). But never worry cracks are perfect! especially when they help us run our fav games

IMO the game play mode of an antivirus means that it does not send pop-ups or alerts which cause your game to pause and the alert to show up, its not that the firewall/av stops working during the game mode

thank you everyone for contribution… its clearer now
