Trojan.Gen.8!cloud has been detected in the gasguzzlersextreme.exe file.
I just reacquired three game files that were missing by verifying the game cache. After doing this I hit play, the game refused to play saying 'access is denied', while my antivirus gave me a notice that the Trojan mentioned by name in the title, tried to embed itself in my PC.

I've had Norton for years now, and I've never had a game claim it had a virus in it till now. I tried clicking it again after you told me that, and it needed me to verify again, so I did. Immediately after, I got the exact same warning again.
I dunno what peoples' problem is with Norton, but it has served me very well for years. Meanwhile I tried having Avast on my old laptop, it began being super slow. I uninstall Avast and tried McAfee, found nothing. Went back to Norton on it, found 6 trojans and assorted Viruses, which it promptly removed. 1 restart later and my laptop was running smoothly again.

People can hate on Norton all they want. They're #1 for a good reason.

There's no gasguzzlersextreme.exe in the game files anyway.

Only GasGuzzlers.exe which is closer.

Seems like you had a shady version of GGE who got caught by your AV.

GasGuzzlers.exe analysed by viruus total isn't coming out any result under Symantec either.

I bought the game through Steam several months ago. How is that possible?

Upload the file to virustotal and make the scan and share it here. If it say it's already scanned, just select rescan under the 3 dogts thing.

Norton ain't #1 lmao. Go get ESET and try saying that again. Or hell, you'd even be better off using AVG free or sticking with Windows Defender.

Did you not read what I said? :\ Norton has been perfect for me, while the other two other services I tried left me with Viruses, so you sir, are fulla ♥♥♥♥ :) Bye.

Best not to bother anymore with someone who has that much technological ineptitude, since meanwhile everyone else has the game working fine. (Since they don't really use a shoddy nor shady av they gullibly trust as much as a popup saying your computer is infected and you must install this now in the first place anyway)
