Virus in your patch??

[Leorin]

Hi
Could you please explain, why my Bitdefender Antivirus program picked out something called "Variant.Razy.594772" out from your patch? Ah Gen:Variant.Razy is a notorious Trojan virus that can appear in DLL files....until then I will deinstall your game

Hi,

clearly a false positive. Please submit the file to the antivirus vendor.

[Pintea]

Indeed false positive.
It's not the first time this happens though, from time to time, some parts of the executable will look like sections from various malware.

Same message here. Bitdefender, and you ?

Bitdefender reporting it here too (Variant.Razy.594772). WIll uninstall the game for the time being.

Yeah pretty ugly when things like this happen. What I can say is that Bitdefender sucks. And searching around the web you'll see tons of similar false-positive situations with reputable software.

Anyway, in my experience, doing random code changes and recompiling the executable will eventually convince Bitdefender, so will probably have to do just that.

For your sanity, you can use https://www.virustotal.com/ to check the file, which will run the file through tens of various antiviruses.

Again, ♥♥♥♥ bitdefender.

Thanks for the tip with Virustotal - its not just Bitdefender......though it may still be a false positive.

So false positive or not rather than all the customers putting updates through Virustotal - could we suggest that the dev's put updates through Virustotal first before issuing the files to us, then you would know whether you will get an issue pushing the updates out to all of us?

FireEye is listed as well....and that is a magic quadrant commercial platform and you don't want to be another Solarwinds.....

You forgot to post the other 50 antiviruses that don't see it as a malware

[Ozzie_Warrior]

...but didn't forget to say that it could be a false positive - I also offered a solution that would help prevent this in the future, and possibly assist with making future releases easier for you.

Technically speaking, are av vendors that should change their definitions to avoid false positives...

[Ozzie_Warrior]

My suggestion was actually about your / your company's exposure to article 45 and 46 of Romanian Law 161 - not everyone who leaves comments is trying to be nasty - sometimes people are trying to help people to a better outcome.

The game has no viruses.

Some av vendors are wrongly assuming that there is a virus.

So, av fault.

Also, Steam scan all files before publishing it.

The law you cited is useful if there was a real virus.

When AV vendors will update their definitions even on VirusTotal, the file will be no more recognized as a virus.

You are basically suggest that Devs should spend time and work for modify a file that is ok only because some av vendors are saying that it's suspicious.

False positives can happen even with Windows files. So Microsoft should change its own operating system because a couple of antivirus think that there is a virus?
