Hello everyone, may be a false positive I have the same problem with another antivirus, someone has tried to contact the developers?

Same: The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\downloading\1261960\setting.exe is infected with Gen:Variant.Johnnie.245765 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

As far as I've been able to research, that's Bitdefender noticing the file is similar to browser malware. Does Strikers have some sort of ad popup hook embedded in it? That's me being optimistic.

The pessemistic side isn't running anything from City Connection / Zerodiv until I know for sure.

i've run three full system scans since this summer after buying city connection Psikyo ports, including one after buying the strikers and gunbird games, and no viruses have been detected... your heuristics are on overdrive.

After recent December 15th update, I checked the two .exe by using online antiviruses at virustotal.com

"setting.exe" is detected as malicious [red] by 18 of 71 antivirus engines... that is, all the others (the majority) say "undetected" [green] and it could be just a false positive. But still, I'd say at least some reassuring words by developers and/or publisher may be useful here.

No reponse from dev or publisher? Damn, does anyone even care

[Paratech2008]

Neither Malwarebytes nor Windows Defenders show any virus/malware warnings for this game on my computer.

[mcgman80]

[nbisbo]

[hiscloak1]

Today, When I tried to do the download this game, My Anti virus said there is a virus.
\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\1261960\setting.exe has Gen:Variant.Johnnie.245765 a virus.

[Taake]

I submitted the settings.exe to BitDefender and it should not get detected anymore.

[FidoMix]

Huh, McAfee also detected that file TODAY as a virus. A false positive?

It is. Submit it to McAfee so it doesn't get detected in the future.
