WARNING! VIRUS INFECTION IN THE GAME FILES! / WARNUNG: VIRUSINFEKTION IN DEN SPIELEDATEIEN!

[Sgt. MakAber]

WARNING: One of the game files is infected by a trojan, detected by Norton Security on my system!
DO NOT PLAY THE GAME UNTIL YOU HAVE CLEANED YOUR SYSTEM AND DOWNLOADED A CLEAN NEW FILE FROM STEAM!
Unfortunately, at the moment the trojan is located right on the steam servers, so we'll have to wait until Steam provides a clean new file for download.

there hasnt been an update to the game in months, i doubt there is trojan. If someone wanted to implant a trojan onto systems dont you think they would include it in an update?

[chef]

Well mine didn't so.....

[Sgt. MakAber]

Well if you think your systems are ok, go ahead and play it.
All I can say is: Norton detected it on my system and deleted the file, so I re-downloaded it from steam. Norton immediatly detected the trojan again, in the fresh new file from steam.
My conclusion is that the steam servers have been infected, but of course I may be wrong.

This is called a false positive

Huh, well that's bizarre and interesting. I wonder what could be causing that...

Ok, I've uploaded the file to Norton support and have them check it for a false positive. I'll let you guys know when I get a response. Maybe it really is just a false alarm.

Kasperskiy all the way. Norton was good back in 1999.

[Unapologetic Bigot]

Norton is crap. Use Kaspersky or Avast. Just sayin.

[Zoie Shales]

I think the virus is from another source or its a false possitive, TW:W is safe.

False positive. Not sure why Norton would mark that installscirpt for Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages. I would anyways put the steamfolder as scan exception on any antivirus. No point. Just makes run the CPU and Harddrive for nothing when installing a game or software through steam.

And if there would be a virus that infected Steams server I swear that your little home antivirus wouldn't be of any use. Such breach could cost millions for Valve. Huge security issue.

If your in doubt, upload the file to virustotal

Or he could just be trolling like most people on these forums.
