Launcher Malware/Virus Problem

[M4db0x]

Hi. When i try to install the launcher my bitdefender (antivirus) goes crazy, cause of different files. (identificated as malware/virus). Anybody else got these problems?

[Goregrind]

no

Third party A/V will flag just about anything these days. I don't even recommend using anything other than the built in windows defender unless in the past you or someone that uses your computer has a history of getting the computer infected somehow.

if windows defender say nothing u good to go malware virus programs ar all scam

I use bitdefender with no issues....Nothing came up for me. I have the full suite too. I think your system might have other problems. Could have a virus that is infecting legit files and that is why bitdefender keeps popping up. I had a similar virus once and your in for a treat if that is the case.

Bit opposite for me. I got tired of Windows Defender's false positives that I installed Kaspersky Free instead and have way less of it. Also the bonus was a better UI, protection against ransomware and it's actually lighter on RAM.

It's probably the best playing spyware I've ever tried.

I have never used a 3rd party anti-virus since back in 2015 when Windows 10 released, I upgraded to Windows 11 back on release in 2021 too. In that whole 9 years I have never had a single virus or any kind of malware on my computer.

Once a month I do a Windows virus scan and run a Malwarebytes free scan, as I said above, neither of them have ever found anything in 9 years.

My Steam session got hijacked, they spammed my friendslist with a Link, that's how I noticed 😅.

I can say for sure it must have come from Delta Force Hawk Ops, but I downloaded their launcher from their website first, installed it.
Then realized there were steam keys via Twitch, and then download it via Steam.

I reset my whole SSD / Windows and reset my Steam password.

Still not sure if I wanna redownload via Steam now 😅.

Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Then instal bidefender and see how most of the typical site you use have ads that try to steal your infomation and stuff, even when looking trough google images it prevent/block stuff like that.
