Avast flags the *.exe as infected

Just to let the Dev. know.

I might do that. The SHA256 Hash are identical.

My bitdefender just deleted the exe and marked it as gen:variant.fakealert.25

[sadmoney]

Yeah my antivirus (gdata) also detected it as a virus, which made me uninstall it, is it save?

Bit Defender refuses to let the game install or even download. I tried forcing it but that thing is really stubborn. This should be repaired.

Considering the fact that this is the FIRST time Avast has EVER flagged a Steam game as being malware, I am going to continue assuming it IS malware and asked that it be changed/repaired.

No offense, but the dev's word just isn't good enough in this case, especially with all the shady developers on Steam these days. ;)

Avast, and most likely many of them, flag EVERYTHING they do not know as Malware/virus/Trojan.

So you will be using another module? As it is we can't install the game.

Ahh.. it got flagged as a trojan by Norton. This isn't the first time my antivirus ♥♥♥♥ with my steam games.. (Cough, did it to Dark Souls, Hell even CoD:MW2.)

[Malkavian]

My AVG removed it immediately as a trojan too.

[OneMoreGame]

I use McAfee and it also detects trojan from the exe file. Hope this issue can be fixed soon.

I just tried running the game and AVG once again removed the exe as a trojan.

Same as Malkavian, I sent it for analyze to AVG few days ago but still the same result, instantly moved in quarantine. :/

It's also the second time that trying to launch the game close Steam on my computer.

[MiMi]

Yup it works now!

[Malkavian]

AVG is still detecting a threat, the threat is now listed as an 'unknown medium-severity malware' instead of a trojan. It's no longer automatically deleting the exe file but it does ask to remove it, my Steam also froze until I did. Sigh!
