File now causes threat detection on Virus scan?

[Vawn the Commodore]

Played last night on Phasmo for about an hour, with no issues at all.. I ran a Virus scan this morning and it now tells me that in the phasmo folder, a file called gameassembly.dll is now in quarantine due to jti/suspect.1966. I uninstalled the game, and manually removed any left over files everywhere. Then used my virus scan again, came back completely clean. Then I re-installed Phasmo and once again after a scan. jti/suspect.1966 for gameassembly.dll. I then verified local files, and it replaced the file (due to it being in quarantine) and again.. comes up as a threat.. any recent phasmo changes that would cause this issue?

If it's avast or norton your antivirus is the problem.

Your AV program is generating a false positive. It's not uncommon in gaming; just white-list the Phasmophobia folder.

The file to Whitelist is gameassembly.dll

Uninstalling mcafee would be my first suggestion.

As mentioned earlier, add an exception or whitelist the Phasmophobia files in McAffee.

Your steam account was likely hacked due to phishing or social engineering. Not malware.

Don't use any free antivirus. Malwarebytes is okay.

unless its mcaffee. mcaffee loves false flagging alot of stuff with exactly that jti/suspect.1966. you find google search forum postings of people complaining of mcaffee doing that to alot of apps since 2018

You're kidding yourself if you think it's going to keep you safe from anything dangerous. McAfee, AVAST and all those other free anti-viruses are hot garbage.

If you want coverage, get MalwareBytes and pay for the premium if you cannot stop yourself from clicking things you shouldn't be clicking, or downloading obvious viruses.

Use a premium antivirus software like Norton 360 or F Secure.

It's almost as if the AV is only as good as the person using it!
