Update has a virus?

[puma918]

Just got this from Bitdefender during the update:

The file E:\Steam\steamapps\downloading\1677280\Essence.Rpc.Bifrost.dll is infected with Gen:Heur.MSIL.Krypt.85


The game that keeps on giving...

Mate, try this library on Virustotal. One antivirus can very well trigger false positive.

Same for me just posted about it

Crappy anti virus software loves false positives after gaming software gets updated.

"Crappy" antivirus software was the first to spot Hydrac's return with 64-bit encryption. It was Mcfee or Avast. It was big on news, because 64-bit viruses scared the ♥♥♥♥ of companies and cognant users. You may check that while OP is checking that file (hope Bitdefender provides safe environment).

If you don't afraid of evil viruses, just disable Bitdefender, delete the game and re-install. The issue OP reffered to was in the package file - restoring integrity or re-installing should help.

You can easily add an exception in Bit Defender (Protection > Antivirus > Settings > Manage Exceptions, add path to your steam download folder) and re-update.

I reinstalled Norton and uninstalled Bitdefender and the update installed just fine.

Yea man, Relic has had enough of you fools and put a virus in the update.

Virustotal drops 12 positive detections on the file. Furthermore, the file doesn't seem to be digitally signed. Something's definitely going on here.

Previous version of the file had none detections on Virustotal and was signed.

Well, I would've been carefull with anything containing "RPC" in it's name. Thanks for checking on this.

Though, this can be a part of recently updated framework, so people interested in the case may monitor other titles as well.

Learn how to read false positives.
All the "positive detections" are literally disagreeing on what it is.
Meaning, quite clearly, it's false positives.
Also, the ones that are giving "positive detections" are absolute garbage programs. Norton and McAfee are well known for being literal scams over the last decade, BitDefender being just absolute insane on false positives. The only ones you should trust would be Avast, Panda and Webroot, and guess what they say?

That's because Norton is absolute garbage and couldn't find a virus if you infected every single existing known virus on your PC. That said, this is a false positive.
