Its a false positive, I use NOD32 and about a year ago it did the same thing, eventually something was fixed as it stopped doing it.

I launched it again, and this time it didn't detect anything.
Just tell it to always allow it and you should be fine. I had to do that also.

I thought you used Trojans to keep from getting the virus!
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

Nah, the proactive threat response (which is what in Kaspersky causes this) has caused me more problems with false positives if its on a server (stupid forced disconnects of clients, data corruption etc...)|

Indeed. The Updater progam both accesses the registry and connects to the internet, and some malware applications find that to be a threat. Like others have said, you can just exclude CoH and not have any issues.
I remember back in the day, the AOL setup and/or executable was detected as a virus by almost every program at the time. It's still debatable whether or not that one is true. haha

A virus is merely a program that copies itself from system to system without human involvement. Since you install AOL's client voluntarily, and it doesn't copy itself automatically to other people's systems, it's not a virus.

Voluntarily installing something does not mean it is not a virus. To say the definition of a computer virus is just a program that copies itself without human involvement is also not entirely true.|

The name Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware, and other malicious and unwanted software, including true viruses. So actually, you are both right on that part.
Aside from spreading on its own, a virus usually causes harm to either a computer system's hosted data, functional performance, or networking throughput when they are executed. Some viruses have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious.
To the OP, I would not worry about it. As stated before it is an issue with Kaspersky being a bit over protective.

Yes, as you said, a virus ususally is harmful to the system it is installed on. But the ability to transmit itself without human interaction or permission is what makes it a virus.

I run Kaspersky virus, and when I started my City of heroes today to update my client, it detected a Trojan Virus activity in Cohupdater.exe.
Whats the deal?
