Trojan Detected in EA67

[The Infamous Fry Carson]

I'm hoping this is a false positive, but I got an alert about Trojan:AndroidOS/Multiverze
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Songs of Syx\SongsOfSyx.jar

Ok thanks.

If it helps anyone, it works fine on MacOS. Considering apple keeps their OS pretty locked down as far as viruses go, I wouldn't stress too much. Just have your AntiVirus software ignore the .jar

To be fair, so does Windows. You just don't get as many social exploits which is what most 'hacks' you hear about/see with MacOS due to it being a rather restricted group of folks using it... And the only reason why *is* the amount of users.

Ironically, there are probably as many actual threats against MacOS as there is windows, you just don't HEAR about them all due to the disparity in amount of people using each system.

FIXED, try downloading the patch again

Nothing is fixed. The problem is still here.

there is plenty for a few decades now, worked in my early twenties with plenty of them in a support role, they always said my MAC cant have a virus... till you got them to run a proper system scan...

Generally speaking Mac users are better targets as they

- A must have enough money to waste
- B likely have a job with more interesting information to steal then a normal windows user

regarding the other guys fixed or not, is a question of perspective there is likely nothing wrong, but if you want to be over careful perfectly fine too.

That said windows defender should not be your go to for security of your computer and data, you should have professional software for it to keep you "safer".

Age of History III game also had a Trojan report:

Actually it has.... a guy whom works at Defender posted in the Discord:-

Follow up on this. Issue solved. File classified as false positive after review and no longer detected by Defender Antivirus. 👍🏿

Since then many have tried from Discord and confirm its now "clean"

OK, but I still cant start the game. Defender has the newest update from this morning.

If you have the slightest doubts for whatever reason, don't play.

We can't tell you for sure but it is likely to be a false positive. Half life 2 got a virus warning at the same time as Songs of Syx (back in mid November), could be Windows Defender receiving a faulty update which messed things up.

Make sure the mentioned .jar file is actually present in the folder.

As well as Age of History III I already mentioned, I see Airships: Conquer the Skies also got one in November.

... this topic never dies just back from Saudi Arabia and its still there xD what was classified as potentially was a library that is used in a trojan too, that doesnt mean the library (code snippet) is automatically dangerous...

its like saying cause you have .... you are automatically someone that forces his will on someone else without consent. could you do it yes, but i think 99.8% of people dont...

anyhow im unsubbing now from this topic as its getting a joke at this point...
