I believe it is. My Windows defender also flagged this as PUA:win32/gamehack. I ran a scan through MalwareBytes and it came back clean.

It is a false positive virus alert.
The company needs to update its database.

You have to add aoh3.exe as an exclusion for Kaspersky
https://support.kaspersky.com/KIS4Mac/16.0/en.lproj/pgs/58779.htm

After adding aoh3 to the exception and subsequent downloading, a Trojan appeared on the computer, which Kaspersky immediately removed and began the procedure for treating the active infection.

Before that he complained about a file related to multiplayer, and then, at about 45% of the download, he saw a virus (?) Backdoor.

P.S. (24.10.2024/13:06/Moscow Time): This all happened yesterday evening. I haven't downloaded this game yet today.

idiotic reaction. Steam doesnt let virus on their platform idiot

You are clearly the idiot. There is no such thing as 100% virus protection. Of course, Steam doesn't have 100% either. Of course Steam can also miss viruses!

I have removed the problematic windows/x86/org/lwjgl/lwjgl.dll file from the game files.
The game can now only be run as a aoh3.jar - Java file.

If you don’t have Java installed, you can download it here:

Please let me know if this helps!

Bruh my game like wont start, when i want to open it it opens wordpad and start typing many things but wont open actual game, anyone know how to fix it

[jakubkondraciuk1710]

Hello, Windows Defender is picking on the aoh3.jar file, so you can't run the game even with Java if the file is deleted or in quarantine. This needs to be fixed!

edit: It works for me

If you would like to go back to the version that includes the .exe file, then:

Right-click the game in your Library.
Go to Properties > Beta
Choose -> LWJGL3
