688(I) Hunter/Killer has malware in it. Please help

[Square Box]

I tried to contact support but no luck. As soon as I installed it it attacked my system.

If there was malware in a game released in 1997, surely someone would have found it by now, right?

Read the discussions section. They did find it. I want to report it.

it doesn't have malware, its a false positive probably due to the fact that the game is extremely old.

Did any of the things this article claims the trojan does happen on your computer, or is it a false positive detection like it was six years ago when the thread was made?

It started terminating many proceccess and trying to turn others on.

As said, it's a false positive.

Some AVs are wonky.

The game's files haven't changed since SteamPipe started, but weirdly they are all marked as configuration files, so verifying the game files on its own won't get you a clean copy - you'd need to delete the file and then verify after.

The article says the trojan is between 2 and 3 megabytes, but the exe file that's distributed with that game on Steam is half a megabyte. If your copy of the exe is unusually large, that might indicate you got a virus from somewhere else.
