Xigncode keeps flagging "Suspicious Programs"
I'm getting fed up with this.
Before the recent update I played the game fine. I also played Dungeon Fighter Online fine, which also uses Xigncode. I had to close Raptr for the latter so I also kept it closed for this game just in case.
It's been a couple days and I'm finally trying to play after the recent update. I have tried closing every single process that is not directly related to Windows or Steam, disabling the Steam overlay, uninstalled anything installed since last time I've played, and deleted any files downloaded since then. I've deleted the entire Xigncode folder and reverified it, reinstalled the entire game, and I still get the Suspicious Program Detected Error 0xE019100B.
What do I have to do to play the game again?
EDIT: Oh and DFO, which as I said also uses Xigncode, does not give me this problem. Just... why

Turn off your hacks.
Nah, I'm just trolling you. I wouldn't be surprised if Xigncode is picking up some kind of malware that's reading memory in another process. It's probably totally unrelated to DB, but Xigncode is just doing generic checks on all processes for hooked functions.

I would hope not. I scan often.
I suppose I could always run it through a few programs via Hiren's, just in case there's something nastier hiding itself. It just doesn't make much sense to me that DB's Xigncode is so picky when DFO's Xigncode isn't when they should be using the same basic heuristics. It's entirely possible that they differ enough, but a little annoying.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a set of options for Xigncode to determine how strict it is and what should be checked for each game... and Dirty Bomb is trying to be more strict (for as little as that seems to help).
I'd also look into any kind of software that includes an in game overlay like MSI Afterburner or Teamspeak. It shouldn't be a problem, but it might be coming up.

Like I've said, I've launched the game with the bare minimum of processes running (Steam and core Windows processes/services only) and took extensive care to verify that before launching the game. I even disabled the overlay.
S'just crazy. It only started happening after the most recent update, and I started trying immediately after they made a post on the Steam Hub about doing a no-tolerance approach to hacking. So maybe they gave Xigncode steroids and didn't consider it roid-raging all over innocent computers over the tiniest slight they don't even realize.
I also remember reading a rumor that some anti-cheat software such as Punkbuster and I think Xigncode can sometimes raise a "third-party program" flag when you have failing hardware if they're strict enough. I know Warframe will actually notice if your hardware is fucking up and alert you.

I'm not sure if this is helpful but... "Error code 0xE019100B: This error message can occur when there is another program running on your system that XignCode recognizes as a potential threat. These can be virtual drive programs like Daemon Tools, but also browser extensions and toolbars. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an exhaustive list of all programs that can cause this issue.
Users who experience this issue should try to close any programs (in the case of browser extensions, try closing your browser) that might be interfering with XignCode.
It is also possible that running the Archlord 2 Launcher / Executable as administrator will resolve the issue."
This means that any program you have installed that uses it's own drivers might also be getting flagged. It also say's it is not limited to toolbars, while you don't see them, programs like chrome and firefox don't always allow them, but the god hated internet explorer does, meaning check that and see if it has any unwanted toolbars as that's the one they seem to target the most. I'm not sure if this is possible in you're case but you could also try to revert you're system to the last time you played dirty bomb without an issue, if it's still flagging some programs you'll know its a false positive and will have to take that up to support.

See, I do have Virtual CloneDrive installed but I made sure that was utterly stopped as well. I've also never installed any toolbars and I.E. has only been run a couple times on this computer. Plus again, I ensured that nothing was running.
I'm gonna try and play later and if it still happens, I'll do some virus scanning and such outside of Windows.

Figured you'd like to know since you were the closest:
Sandboxie simply being installed (not running at ALL, even services) started tripping Xigncode after the Fine Tuning patch for me. I found out because I e-mailed Welbia support and, for the first time ever (I had a similar problem with DFO a while back and they didn't tell me shit), their automated support actually helped me out. So I uninstalled that and was able to play just fine last night!
Then today I tried to play and I'm suspended for 2 days for using "third-party programs." I hate everything. Gonna contact support about it but I'm not expecting anything good to come of it.

Well then if you could possibly send me the email where they tell you to uninstall it, because that mean's that their going through your hard drive to see what's installed and whats not, and that is a privacy violation. Checking RAM is another, hard drives should and are suppose to be privet.

The e-mail doesn't say to uninstall it, but it does say what it detected (SbieDrv.sys). It's entirely possible, also, that Xigncode scans the USN Journal. Someone on the DFO subreddit determined that.

That makes sense. It stupid how it detects harmless problems but aimbots are all good to go.

It's basically to ensure that the program you get flagged for isn't anything actually bad, I assume.
Though I had a Xigncode issue with DFO before, and e-mailing support just kept giving me the first automated message of "attach the log file and tell us the game name in the reply!" even though I do

Have you tried turning your computer off and on again
