Fifty_Five has already mentioned a lot of useful info, but I just quickly want to add that Avira flags EVERY program/executable that doesn't have a valid certificate. Unreal Engine and DirectX are also completely independent of one another. One is the game engine, the other is the graphics engine used. C++ is a programming and scripting language, nothing unusual. The C++ Runtime Environment is required for a lot of apps, I'm surprised you don't have it installed yet.

Apart from that, Avira is generally not a good Antivirus, and frankly not required because the Windows Defender is way better. If you're scared of a virus, unplug your ethernet or turn off WiFi, install the game and block it with the Defender Firewall so it can't access the internet. Saves you a lot of headaches.

Thanks a lot for your detailed comment!

No problem, glad I was able to help :D

Thank you for the explaination.

I already knew what c++, Direct X and Unreal Engine is. Those terms were just words appearing in the pop up window or the disclaimer before installing Unreal Engine. I am to blame for not properly reading through that 'license agreement' so I just mentioned what was drawing my attention when browsing through it.

Yes it appears so that Avira is not exactly the best, but I think it is still better to have an additional layer of protection. Also, while installing, I had my internet plugged off, as a matter of fact.

I will keep in mind what you said though for the future.

No problem! If you want an additional layer of protection, consider switching to Malwarebytes or Bitdefender, they are known to be two of the best. In the meantime, enjoy playing :D
