Virus alert

Only just started to play GLQuake and I get the warning "failed to connect" when I launch the game.
Moments later my virus software says that it had to block some bad connection, and quarantined the threat.
The next day i received a message from my Microsoft Edge browser that my passwords had been leaked on the internet !!!
Anyone else had this please?

Yeah dude, quake 1 is a virus that's been on steam for years.
it's totally not the fact that you've got a crappy anti virus that blocks all internet protocol from legacy software combined with already present malware on your pc.

Your pc got wrecked by a 25 year old game.

Shub-Niggurath attacked your computer from beyond the grave.

McAfee virus software I wouldnt say is crappy.
Also, what is Steam doing hosting a piece of software with viruses on board?

Antiviruses are all scams. Some are worse than actual viruses, like Norton. Did computer repair for 10 years and any computer I worked on with a virus also had antivirus installed, so it's not even worth having and definitely not worth paying for. Haven't used any of that ♥♥♥♥ in years now

You seriously underestimate how clueless the typical PC user is

Ditch that piece of antivirus bloatware (McAffe is full of false positives btw). Edge also sucks horribly.

The real & more efficient antivirus is yourself. You can even update your virus definitions in your own brain.

If GLQuake was a real virus (which it's not), it would have been taken down ages ago. Think about it.

been using computers for about 20 or so years now.. and i also agree .. antivirus is utter ♥♥♥♥. it creats problems with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scanners saying there is a problem and they slow your pc down. thiese types of software are for the uneducated pc user. All you ever need is Microsoft windows Defender. the only other 3rd party program i would be ok with is the free version of malware bytes.
