Nortans Antivirus is saying my dota2.exe is a trojan

[Bender Bending Rodriguez]

Updated dota today and nortans says its a virus. It deleted the exe and i check the integrity to get a new exe and it came back as the same trojan.

I got nortans to ignore the entire folder where dota 2 can be found and was able to get the exe back. Game is running fine no problems....yet. Hopefully dota 2 can fix the exe in the future so it wont come up as a trojan.

how did you fix it?

Just turn off your norton antivirus and run steam under administrator. then verify integrity of game cache

[Poof]

how do we make sure that this is indeed a false positive though? wait for a reply from symantec?

I couldn't make a false-positive report to Norton since it requires me to upload the suspected executable. How can I upload when Nrton deletes it. Or is it just moved to a "quarantine" directory?

You can go to security history, select the quarantined file, and then there should be a restore button on the right (along with the option to omit it from future scans)

Same prob. solved.
(Norton Internet Secuirty)
Go settings > Under antivirus,sonar,etc > configure items to exclude from auto protect. select whole steam while. DONE now im stuck with unable to connect to the sever once i found a match....

This worked perfectly. Just restore file from quarantine and then exclude it from future checks. Done and dusted. Thank you for post.
