Found a Trojan in the launcher.

As usual, in the morning I launched SS14 and the Avast antivirus began to swear, knowing that it could throw an error, I went to virustotal, but there was also a surprise there. Should I be worried?

Nah if the SS14 launcher is open, some games won't even work. So there is probably not that much to worry about.

Same thing happened to me just now.

there's a thing called a false positive. this is an example of that

if you feel that there is something suspicious about the game, you can always check the files here: https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14 (note: it is possible that the files are different on steam then on the github, not quite sure how their update process works)

Unlike alot of Steam games SS14 uses its own launcher before actually entering the game. Your antivirus is seeing a 3rd party program trying to send and recieve information from yet another 3rd party program (the server).

In a nutshell this is what a trojan/malware is and being that this is not a massive triple A game many antivirus programs and even windows itself would have no idea what it is.

P.S. Technically as an example newer version of windows have verified "safe" malware ( in its most basic definition ) with things from Microsoft's like Bing Search Assistant.

P.P.S Also if you use an actually good antivirus suite you should be able to see incoming/outgoing network usage for each program on your PC and be able to dictate what that program has permission to alter.

Thanks everyone for the responses! As Rigben and MozarteanChaos explained, this could still be a false positive due to the SS14 launcher.
