The newest update says that contagionds.exe is infected with Gen:Variant.Mikey.115261
Im using Bitdefender.

Anyone else have this problem?

The Thread you are linking to is from 28.05.2020.

The false positive are different:
"Threat detected: Trojan:Win32/Fuery.C!cl -or-
Threat detected: Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.C!cl "

Your clean file are 443,5KB and the contagion.exe and contagionds.exe have the same size.

The "infected" ones are 809KB, 807KB ect. and only the contagionds.exe are so big.
Why they are so much bigger? TBH - thats the point i dont understand. False positive can happen but why are those files so much bigger? :-/

the "Infected" ones where probably because of Visual Studio 2019 causing issues when it was compiling, check the previous comment I made that links to Visual Studio Developer Community. He and I had the same version, and once I updated, the issue was resolved.

Hence why the size became smaller, I also cleaned up the contagionds.exe, so it lines up with the client exe file (basically, it had a lot of unrelated crap).

In short, while I was fixing this false positive crap that Visual Studio wanted to produce, because of Microsoft own dumb update, I also cleaned up the file for the exe file.


If steam downloaded the latest file properly (or if you verify your files), you should be able to have the same version as I linked earlier from 2020-11-02. If they are on the same file as the uploaded one to virustotal, then everything should be green.



TLDR:
Microsoft updated Visual Studio 2019 that I use to compile the game code and executables with, caused every antivirus to go "this is a trojan". They fixed it on their latest update, which I used earlier for the current compiled executables. Everything should be fine now.

I just updated and the ds file was flagged as well. Is steam serving up your old version which you didn't recompile with the fix?

[Wuffesan]

Verify your files, and it should fix itself. This probably happened due i pushed the quick hotfix right after the first one

Hey Jonny I still cant update!
Veryfying doesnt help.
Always receive "update paused" when the download finished.
Bitdefender here

[Wuffesan]

Try restarting steam, or reinstalling the game. It usually helps

I tried reinstalling the game, but I keep getting a disk write error. My antivirus, Bitdefender, isn't picking anything up.

Nope it doesnt. I redownloaded the game.
When download finished, same problem.
Download paused and it doesnt finish

Edit: Adding to exception list doesnt work either, so far.
Wow, never experienced that in 17 years of using steam

Can someone please do the right thing and make a submission to 'virus scanner company name'

There's only so much Jonnyboy can do. It may be that virus scanners need updating. I very much doubt there's a virus in the game if there is that'd be very rare and a matter which should be taken up with Valve cause how'd such a thing happen in the first place? Its a trusted service. By submitting code to various virus scanner companies it gets analysed and if its found to be clean should get white listed in the scanner with updates.

Look at the company's that have detected the file and they're all the least reputable all of those use fear tactic advertising, "YOUR IP IS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Gibs us monies cause many bad time if you do not." Pretty much all Avast owned on that picked it up as Virus, I had Avast up until last year it would detect game updates from EA to UBisoft to Blizzard as Trojan and offer a full protection for $49 a year it fears people into buying their crap.

lol
