False posiive, ignore it.

It's a false positive, it's the games executable file which is required for the game to work and even marked as "Generic".

Maybe buy the game instead of pirating it :).

You trying to downgrade GTA SA to 1.0? It's useful to play mods and convert that PC port into a PS2 version.

It's not a Trojan, if it was it wouldn't be on the Steam Store and owned by thousands, I have done a scan of this game and it's clean, Kaspersky gives out a false positive for many games such as hl2.exe etc. I don't believe someone is family sharing it to you. Send me a copy of your gta-sa.exe and we will see if it's a pirated or a Steam copy. Your copy of Kaspersky is probably pirated too and spitting out false positive

If he pirated the game, he more than likely pirated Kaspersky. =P

I do something better, i login with My ORIGINAL ACCOUNT SO THOSE TELLING i dont have the little mouse and i have it Pirated , here can you seem its original, and Kaspersky and Dr.Web isnt pirated eiter ¬¬ so get back to the real post, Why its False positively as a trojan, and what kind of stuff it will do, to be detected as a malicious program

It is downloaded directly from steam on 2 diferent computers and both detect the gta-sa.exe as a generic trojan, and no HL2.exe its not detected

so please stop saing its a pirated copy, you can seem i greatly contribute to all DEBS

I got more original and purchased games than all of you together, i dont like piracy and dont like virus or trojans, and GTA-SA.exe acts like one, and thats the point of this discusion

steev_666 and Lluviadi are on family sharing,and i considering buing a second copy to play severalmods together, but the trojan thing fire my alarms

[steev_666]

so meanwie the piracy thing its cleared, id like to send you the copy but as soon steam tries to download the exe the AV delete it inmediatly, and i dont will put in risk mi pc, you can download it directly from steam, just delete all the GTASA folder and redownload, if you got you AV, PAID as i DO the trojan warning apear and will be deleted as soon begin downloaded, i dont know if free versions just ignore that trojan

Love how you bought a copy of the game to clear your name. You now have the mouse icon.. Also who the f*ck are you? You aren't even the original poster, how stupid do you think I am? If GTA was a virus, like I said it wouldn't be on the Steam store.

Everyone is overlooking the most obvious - OP's computer may be infected with some rogue stuff already and that is infecting his GTA's EXE with a trojan which gets happily detected and removed by AVs.

That isn't impossible at all. Either that, or he indeed is unlucky and downloaded an infected pirate copy - which, admitedly, takes some skill :-D

[steev_666]

There is a saying that says: Think the thief that everyone is of his condition

But i can propose something, Buy an original copy of kaspersky, delete all the GTA and redownload. (Specially SteamedRevenge), and no, i still not purchased another copy for this accout, why? simple, it has a posible infection, i wont buy until its fixed, and shure, why not? you can be as stupid you wish to be, the world its free so you can make your own decisions, ..who the f*ck am i?? Just a concern customer like any other on steam, you can check my profile and seem how many years i have on it and how many games i brougt, i dont think you need to know more than that

Geting Back to the subject

Doing a fast search over the net, im not the only one reporting this, Also some others AV have detec it as a trojan, most of the forums of this tread are abandoned, but this is not the first time

Silent, thanks, but i had to tear down that idea, i just reinstall all the system from zero, Downloaded new ISO from Microsoft Site with the new Fall creators update and install from scratch (Yes i got it original, no cracks no weird stuff, exepting im on a fast branch), i only install Windows, My drivers, and AV, All my HDs were formated becouse i had a reall mess on them and replace with an SSD for boot and a new 8 TB for all the games, so its very like improbable

[Silent]

Fair enough, in which case I recommend submitting this EXE as a sample of false positive, since it's clean. Should you ever have any doubts in cases like this, use Virustotal.

For the record, I had AVs report trojans in game exes more than once (including my own exes, and last time I checked I wasn't a malware creator), all these cases were false positives.
