Unturned.exe is a Trojan? (AVG issue) - Fix found

[Mano Hackeiro]

So today I was about to fire up Unturned once again, when my anti-virus decides I shouldn't do it, because apparently there's a trojan in Unturned.exe

As anybody else had this happened to him/her?

EDIT:
A fix was found, all you have to do is add Unturned.exe to the exception list. Some people seem to not be understanding very well how to do this, so I'll post some instructions:

- Open AVG and click on the Options menu
- Open the Virus Vault, select Unturned.exe and click "Restore" in the bottom-left corner of the window
- Again in the Options menu, click Advanced Settings
- On the left side of the window there should be a list with several categories, click on "Exceptions"
- Click on "Add exception"
- In the field "Exception type" choose "Application or File"
- Search for Unturned.exe (in my pc, it's in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Unturned")
- In the "Use this excetion for:" field, tick only the "Identity Protection" option
(I also ticked "Even when the file has been changed or updated", in the "Ignore this file:" field, because I'm not sure if after more game updates AVG will detect it as virus again, so I'd say this is optional)
- Click "OK" in that window
- Click "OK" or "Apply" in the previous window
- Dun.

Now you can enjoy your freshly ignored Unturned again

Big thanks to everyone who helped to find this fix

No, unturned is not a Trojan, and neither are any other steam games

[Mano Hackeiro]

Yeah, I know, that's why it seemed so weird

Either its a mistake (Some applications are detected as viruses or trojans even when they are not). There is also the possibility that you have infected files (Or added custom files that are trojans), but the base game itself (Vanilla, no modifications, etc) is not a virus/trojan/malware/etc.

antivirus can dectect games as viruses, i'm pretty sure steam said that when you downloaded it.

AVG sucks

The only custom files I have came from the workshop, so I don't think that should be the cause.
Anyway, I'm gonna reinstall the game and see if AVG complains about it again.

@Dinkleberg

Yep, I have the same threat name. It was pretty random, AVG never complained about Unturned before. Could a Workshop item update have cause this?

[Johnny Chimpo]

I have never once had a problem with Avast, seems like an AVG problem.

[Mano Hackeiro]

Great, now it says there's a "disk read error" at the end of download (I suspect it's AVG screwing things up again)
I'm lazy and I don't wanna post another picture, so here's the text in the Downloads page:

DOWNLOADED 157.4 MB / 157.4 MB
PAUSED DISK READ ERROR

EDIT: I restored Unturned.exe (removed it from the virus vault) and it finished the installation. As soon as I run the game, AVG kicks in and stops me again. Submited the file to them, in hopes they'll update their databases or something

[Kokos34]

It is false positive

[Dan Hanma]

thats what happens to me too i dont know what to do and know it says that an error occured while updating Unturned(disk read error)

[Dambrook]

I' have the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ message 5 min ago !

[VolCunt The Explorer™]

Wierd how people are having this. I also have this after installing that baseball bat with barbed wire from the workshop...

[SNAKE DOC]

I have the same problem with the same avg... Its since this morning avg complains
