Virus Scan

[StealthyMosquito]

Every time I boot this game, my anti-virus says this contains a virus. The file names are as follows(3).
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Alawar\WallWorld\Player.log
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\GameOverlayRenderer.log
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\2187290\WallWorld.exe

This is the FIRST time out of 361(not all installed before) games and curious if anyone else has this issue.

Most Anti-Virus are scams, which one do you use?

[StealthyMosquito]

Trend Micro. Hasnt let me down yet, although I know false positives can be a thing. First time with a steam game.

Dunno how to break it to you, but... Your """antivirus""" is complete garbage (and that is me being generous to it). The first two are literally plain text files

Calling a reputable security program "complete garbage" is stupid and unrepresentative of how it actually performs. I have NEVER seen an antivirus that has ZERO false positives. It stopped after the first or second initialization. Since I had time today, was able to do a couple better searches. HEU_CDPLCEXT and HEU_CDPLC016 are the reasons it was flagged. The filenames were all "created" on 12/31/1969, so probably the cause. They are both reported to be false positives. Being more sensitive about potential threats are a good thing for security suites, just the first one encountered on Steam, hence the post. Thank you NekoiNemo for your super enlightening comment providing zero helpful information.
