Antivirus discovered a threat and now the game wont start after newest update.

[Puffed]

I updated my tmodloader and now my antivirus keeps flagging and deleting a file called "Win32.LocalInfect.2", I have no idea if it is just a false positive or has something gone wrong with the new update. Even when I verify the game files it tries to add it back and my antivirus flags and deletes it again.

I just don't understand why this new file was added anyway, the game worked perfectly before without this single file!

[KODSp3ctra1]

It is a file! When i verify the game files it even adds it back and sets off my antivirus again.

Seems like this is a problem you came across yourself, check the mods you have installed, what you have installed recently, if it still happens maybe go back to a previous version of the tmodloader.

getting that same issue, though the file in question (in my case) seems to be called 'Mono.Cecil.Rocks.dll'
My anti-virus flagged (and deleted) said file, and that somehow stops tModloader from loading up.
I haven't added any new mods, or updated any, so I can't say if there's an issue with those, and downgrading the modloader disables the ones I use anyway, so no way to find out. :P

Got that exact issue as well. I just created a support post on their Discord for (hopefully) more exposure.

Yes, this does appear to be a false positive with the Webroot antivirus software.

We are still reviewing what changed between the updated 0.11.5 and outdated 0.11.4 versions of this 3rd party library to trigger this, but we are aware that 0.11.5 used has been out for almost 11 months now on https://www.nuget.org/packages/Mono.Cecil/ and used by other projects including Microsoft's Maui product.

Verifying Integrity should resolve the issue

Thanks for the update. I was getting the same pop up

Verifying integrity does not, in fact solve this issue

Had to go into the Settings and set Webroot to "observe" the file in question, which in turn let me finish the update without any further issue.
