No. It is not a virus. Just look in their discord. As of 10/04/2017, they are at 40k users. Some big youtubers like Nexpih, IRidium, and Llama Sir have made a video on it. A bunch of pros, like PWNDX, Zanejackey, Maestro, Jacob, Fair Peak, and like 30+ more use it. Even Axel_Toss (RLCS caster / host) uses it and is recognized in the community figure list. One of the biggest traders known as Heybg uses it.

Me and like 6 other friends have had it downloaded almost since it first came out. It's completely safe to use, and is literally just a mod. If Windows says "Threat Blocked" when trying to run it, you just press "Read More" and hit Run Anyways. It simply blocks it because its a .exe that can change files (thats how the mod changes textures of items). I've never had any issues, and it never does anything fishy, and it does not mess with anything outside of RL, and it doesn't change anything you dont tell it to.

If you're still uncertain after that, I don't know how else to tell you it's not a virus. Also, if you're wondering, you can't be banned for using it, as it is just a client side mod that give you no advantages over the opponent.

If you need proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/4ir894/clarifying_our_stance_on_third_party_mods_like/

"Many of our original team members came from the modding scene and we are big fans of mods in general. We've supported and will continue to support great third party tools and websites like Rocket League Replays, for example. And we don't want to do anything to discourage the community from enhancing the game in a positive way.
The custom training program is a great example of adding cool functionality to the game, and we wanted to say clearly that using it does not put you at risk of being banned or punished by us."

If Windows says "Threat Blocked" when trying to run it, you just press "Read More" and hit Run Anyways. It simply blocks it because its a .exe that can change files (thats how the mod changes textures of items).

This is why a lot of mods that you download get "blocked" by Windows, because they are not installing programs, they are just changing around files (how mod's work in the first place). It is not a virus, and your Antivirus "blocking it" is not proof of it being a virus. Antivirus's have fasle positives all the time. Heck, when I was installing Malware Bytes Anti Malware, Avast told me that it was a potentially unwanted program, which is clearly not the case.

Until you can prove that Alpha Console has changed files outside of Rocket League, or changed any files that you did not change, and until you prove that it damages your computer or compromises your privacy, you simply cannot claim it is a virus. And if it were, I'm pretty sure that out of the 40k users currently using it, at least one of them would have found something.

TL;DR: No, it's not a virus. Many pros, RLCS casters, and large traders use Alpha Console. Psyonix supports it and does not plan on banning anyone using it. It has not shown any proof of being harmful to any of the 40k+ users computers, and therefore is not a virus.

So I got it. After I got it I couldn't play ranked because my connection kept dropping. Coincidence? Maybe. I uninstalled it and everything is fine now. Maybe I messed up but I don't know.

in my eyes its not cool if only you can see your car with alpha items and stuff i want other ppl to see my car

I'm not sure why you would have issues with connection dropping. I play with Alpha Console on all the time, including compet (last night actually). I would suggest maybe re-downloading it, or try asking a member in the staff section.

Windows Defender says it's a trojan horse: trojan:win32/spursint.f!cl
Why would that be if it's (supposedly) safe?

[Reyske]

because it is a virus, but one you use, it is a keylogger which hooks rocketleague.exe

[yo]

when i use alphaconsole my game gets unplayable. i have hard fps drops and i even disconnect randomly from the server and have to rejoin.
