DO NOT INSTALL CONTENT MANAGER

[ProudTiger]

My PC loaded with viruses now.

Probably have to reinstall Windows 11 sigh.

A warning.

as i have seen, even the authentic cm is potentially unwanted, for a fact, not because some av said so. it spreads in your folders, files and registry and there is no option to remove and undo the modifications done by it.

I downloaded Assetto Corsa itself and it already has virus from steam, not only CM, i cant remove the virus from pc, AT saying remove virus, but nothing happened

What virus is being reported and by which virus app? I downloaded and paid for CM (as best I know from the "official source") after it was heavily promoted on these discussions but then started having problems with it opening a chrome engine which it installed and persistent asking for donation/payment even though I paid.

Popups.
Windows removed the Content Manager exe and all is fine now.

Must of hit a bad download link.

I reckon it was the Pure Weather download link.

Kept going to different pages.

Obviously it rewrites the registry. How else is it going to do what it does? The fact is that it's a benign program.

No way is Steam spreading viruses, so you're talking BS.

Have you read your antivirus log? Which virus code was triggered?
In another thread dated July 10th they says ACS is just trying to read logifiles but access is denied. So you should be able to add exceptions to false-positive triggering.

That's why it's important to always download from the official sites

Pure has only one place to download from. What you mean bad link? You should pop over to the Pure Patreon (where you paid for a Sub) and let them know. ?

Nah its not that uncommon, especially with indie games. AVs can throw all kinds of false warnings. AC was flagged a few (3-4) times in the past. Dude is just confused on what happened to him vs this topic.

I read some years ago that Some Steam dev accounts were hacked causing some games to be uploaded with malware however since steam introduced a double authentication via the games devs personal mobile phone connected to their steam account, as a developer without this double authentication, you cannot longer update your game on the steam platform and send out updates. This makes it much harder for hackers to access devs accounts as they would need access to this phone for authentication. If a virus/malware was to appear on steam, it'll be directly the Devs fault or they allowed someone access to the steam authentication phone for that devs account

AC has been flagged as a virus before by AVs. The guy you are calling for BS might be quite confused, but hes likely telling not "lying".

Has nothing to do with steam hacking or their checks and authentications, just AVs being ♥♥♥♥.
