Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A
This is showing up again (it did it a few years back on original POE). Showed up when playing a game on Steam, but the details showed it was from this version of POE. This is based on the trade app: Awakened-PoE-Trade-Setup-3.19.10005.exe and is generally a false positive, but figured I should share. I removed the app. Wish POE would stop doing trade this way, such a headache.

I just went to windows 11 (from 10), changed nothing else and got that message the first time I ran the game. I removed the app, so it's no longer an issue. I just won't do any trading, which is all good.

Its a 3rd party app . .why come here talking about it ?

Solution is pretty damn simple . .dont use 3rd party apps that can do nasty ♥♥♥♥ to your PC .. like steal your passwords and account details.

who is US, there is only you. Alone in your lonely solitude of you, and mobs. A singleplayer game with no interractions. Might aswel play POE 2 offline, somewhere underground, in the dark.

You're doing the trade this way. As in through third party app. Official way is through the official trade site. Which isn't very convenient. But if you did trade the way it's intended you wouldn't be complaining here about Trojans.

The way it's intended is completely outdated and not acceptable.
I know of no game that uses such a system to trade in game items.

It's absolutely not acceptable, not even for a free game. It opens you up to all kind of issues, including using third party apps and other things.

You might not feel its acceptable but there are things to consider:

1- It's safer - no need to worry about intentional trojan's or other viruses
2- it cost money to make a mobile app then having to develop a way to link what you're doing on the mobile app in a safe and secure manner.
3- it cost money to put things on the the play/app stores (I also think I remember reading that there are also transaction costs)
4- likely there will be ads to generate revenue OR it will be a paid service to help offset the overhead to run said app and the fees doing so incurs.

These are just the 4 that come to mind from someone who isn't a developer. Overall, its always best to use the intended method if there is no alternate "official" way to do it. Its always risky to use unknown and unverified third party apps.

Normal folk don't deal with it either.
I'm not playing SSF because I wanna still coop with friends, but ibhave zero intent to engage with trade until GGG makes it less archaic and scammy.

Those mobs bring me more company than Trade where you get scammed 1 EO for BiS item. Also, fun fact, SSF has better Global chat than Standard.

100% scam.. the maker of awakened poe trade has said they don't have enough time and won't be making the app for poe2..

This is a virus using a well known name to catch people unaware

I fully expect the OP to be back here in a week or so complaining about their account getting hacked and banned and wondering how it happened.

just deleting the App wont do much as they have likely already ran it and the Trojan is infecting their system.
