Patch 1.1.0 Tagged by Defender as Virus (am I the only one)
Windows defender blocked and flagged the game executable right after I started the game with the latest version.
It quarentiened the tlou-i.exe saying it had a Win32/Cinjo.O!cl and I'm not able to play it.
I know that most probably it is a false positive I would not believe that both Steam nor NaughtyDogs would let this out but still :( I'm unable to play

It's False Positive. I use Windows Defender and I didn't get that.

Verify your game files to redownload the application and add the EXE to the exceptions.
I've either Defender, but didn't got the "error" (on Windows 10 that is).

I will encourage you not to listen to the "2nd advice" in "comment number 2".

His 1st advice is good (verify game files), but do not add anything to the exception (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?Name=Trojan:Win32/Cinjo.O!cl&threatId=-2147201903).

There could be something on the system trying to attach itself to a processor like a game exe. Run a system cleanup, redownload the game, and verify the game via the Steam client

In cases like this, I take no chances, I wipe the windows and fresh install. Nothing important then your privacy

So I uninstalled it, run full system scan, run off-line scan, reinstalled TLOU and the Defender does not detect anything right now... ``\ :S /``
Just Chill Jun 15, 2023 @ 10:03am 
Did you had any findings at the system scan?

Guess not...
No need to be that paranoid like the person who still does not own the game. ;)

If you have not downloaded any weird files before, this was simply a false positive.
Otherwise be careful what you download / open. ;)


I would never add any application to the exceptions, if I am not sure that they are harmless.
TLOU is.
Also this:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/990080/discussions/0/3789254716313156394/#c3789254716313197398

About this mod for Hogwarts Legacy:
https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/556

I was soooo sure that I do not require it.
But I needed this program for Hogwarts Legacy to find a missing collectible. Unfortunately the program told me my savegame got bugged, but also gave me links to mods to find it.


This program gave me either an alert by my defender.
I refused to use it for my first char, as more than these things got bugged and I am not happy about getting an alert by defender.
Yet at my second char, ONLY 1 thing was missing, which I could not find.

Nexus does its own virus scans and would never allow a file with a virus in.

Therefore I gave that mod a try and as told... Was finally able to get a real 100% char by fixing the bugged collectible.


So I am happy that my OCD to get it all made me able to break through my paranoia. :D

You sir have no idea how it works. You are telling user that "IF" they haven't downloaded anything, 80% of times users don't even know "IF" they downloaded anything. You sir need to calm down, you don't need to own video games to understand how what virus is or how antiviruses work.

Please sir, get some help.

Nice.... It has been delt with if it doesn't detect anything :)

But don't listen to randos on the internet the ones telling you to add anything to defender's exception. Being paranoid about your system security is a good now. "Being relaxed" is what these they want you to be so they can have their way with you. Never take your system security lightly :)

Now enjoy the game hahaha

There is nothing that attaches itself to the "PROCESSOR". :hercules_smile:

Dude, how a malicious file gets attached to the PC?

Correct, only if the user surfed on dubious sites, downloaded dubious files or opened any dubious emails.
And when running a scan... wait actually 2 scans, without any findings it's quite clear that there was simply a false positive.
Virus scanner look for a specific function some programs perform.
And as noted in my example, a simple mod program can also fall under these conditions, while it is not harmful.


Get some help?
Your paranoia should be treated.

A PC cannot get a virus through thin air. ^^

And when will you finally buy the game instead of uselessly lurking around on this hub?

I still see no mouse icon.
V1.1.0 is really recommended.

You sir got both of us ban last time, I don't want to engage with you sir as you seem to have some serious issues.

But I am a nice guy and can't let you feed wrong info to users especially when it comes to their system security.

I never said "thin air", I said users won't even know if they downloaded something, it could be a click on email attached pdf or anything for that regard,

anyways please seek some help. Thanks good riddance
Just Chill Jun 16, 2023 @ 12:47am 
The ban was issued as you couldn't let it go, that I call you out for lying.
You claimed to own the game on Steam, but clearly lied about it.
I simply hate liars, so that's that.

Regarding catching a virus on PC...
It still doesn't change the fact that users are themselves to blame if they get a virus and stop trying to sell yourself as a specialist about everything, Mr. Tinfoil.minds.

Parrot.

The user had no virus, he had a false positive otherwise the system scans would have brought up findings.

Also this:

Yeah... From now own I'll call you Mr. Tinfoil.minds.
No trust in the security you have on your PC. Rather wipe the whole system. :facepalm:

Your conspiracy theory family must be proud of you. :awkward:

Funny how you throw words not even knowing the meaning :) I don't care if it was anything. IF defender promoted it, I would make sure it is cleared, therefore OP did the scan, verified the game files and it is fixed.

GIF: "One does not simply add things into defender's exception"

So now you dear sir stop being personal and just chill (Or take your pill please)

As I said Mr. Tinfoil Mind you surely can add things to the exception.

I know, I have my troubles with that too, but there are things you can be sure it has no virus.
The game EXE is one of them.
Mods from Nexus should be clean either, even though I was not happy about getting a notification and had to add the program to the exceptions.

And again, the OP did the system scan but without any result.


If Defender finds ANYTHING it will alarm the user, like with the false positive. ;)


But it's nice that you are running through the wall with your paranoia.
"I don't care if it was anything."

You should get a judge.
"I do not care if he / she was innocent, inject them the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ poison!"

It takes two hands to clap, if I didn't stop you didn't either.

see how you get angry. This is what I mean.

You just change my words and never say anything logical, I show respect for you and you sir instead just trash talk and get angry instead of even considering other person's prospective and say things with logic behind it.

I rest my case.

Good bye to you good sir as this conversation is going nowhere :)

Sorry I broke you

Dear Tinfoil Mind, I told you that you wrote conspiracy theory ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I mean do you REALLY do that EVERYTIME you get a notification from Defender?
Originally posted by APA.minds _REDUX:

I wrote "A PC cannot get a virus out of thin air" as an exaggeration to your antics.

As you clearly overreact when it comes to false positives.
Or do you have so many child porns on your rig that you be so paranoid? :emo_creep:


You didn't broke me. I simply think you are a liar and ultimately a fraud.
And I have NO respect for people like you.
Also when do you finally buy the game on Steam?
I mean you claimed you own it already, but I still see no mouse icon.
Originally posted by APA.minds _REDUX:
And yes I now also own a copy on steam
Liar.

Liar.

my good sir, people don't have 1 account, I also do family sharing with my partner. I buy them all the games :) so I own them hehe

Teaching moment: This is how relationships work.

you, good sir, need to calm down - 'false positive' Is this the word of the day teacher taught your in grade 1 class today?

Let me make it clear for you sir, There are no compromises when it comes to system safety and security

goodbye to you, I do not want to engage with you anymore, you will get us banned again but also I don't think you deserve a second of my time anymore anyways.

Healthy arguments are always great but you particularly attack people for no reason on small disagreements and don't listen to any reasoning whatsoever.

I clearly appreciated your suggestion to OP in which you said 'verify game files' but I disagreed with your 2nd suggestion to `allow exceptions in Defender`. So clearly you only saw the negative and not the positive when I said to OP "His 1st advice is good". This shows you are very insecure and cant take disagreements or never listen to others, let alone show some respect for your fellow gamers

You sir really really need to get some help - No seriously (whatever you are taking, go back and run full tests to reanalyze it)

good riddance to you good sir (again)

Jason Bourne it's Jesus Christ...

Claim family sharing, epic or whatsoever. As long as you do not prove anything you say, your words are worth nothing.

And as you still insist to not provide any evidence, just stop responding to me.

It's clear what I think about you and as you do not bother, there is no way to have a proper conversation between us.

Originally posted by APA.minds _REDUX:

Wrong.
I told you that I disrespect you.
As I think you are a liar and a fraud.

So anything you write is taken as an insult by me, simply as of how much I dislike your appearance and behaviour on this hub of which you do not own the game.


If you check my post history, you find clear evidence that I am able to take disagreements.
The issue we have is, I do not respect, like or want to interact with you.

All you do is forcing a useless conversation upon me.
The reason why I respond to you even if I couldn't dislike you any more is courtesy.


Not sure why you seek the attention of someone who clearly dislikes you. :wellok:
