What antivirus you have?
I'm 100% sure it's just a false positive.

When something like that happens you can search google for the file name.

beservice.exe shows this page on a google search.

He uses "Norton Antivirus", because of the bottom left corner of the picture.

People in your first thread told you it is a false positive. (false positive means it is NOT actually a malicious trojan).

Just google it and you'll find that for yourself. It has even been discussed on Steam forums before. Plus there has been a response apparently from the game developer at some point too (i linked you to that topic in your other thread).

It really isn't an issue with Steam, it's an issue with that game. If it makes you nervous then don't play that game.

Norton will say that your mother is trojan, would not pay much attention to that.

I just got worried because of the file name ._. I didnt know aint viruses could change name files.. But ok then guess ill delete the thread.

I like how he called it an "aint virus soft ware". That's why they call it "ain't virus" software, because it ain't ever a virus. I really hope Norton doesn't cost money anymore, or I'd feel bad for these type of folk.

I'm sorry to say sir, but you are paying for a service that is inferior to others that can be had for free like Avast!, AVG and Comodo.

In the future, check the game's hub page. (Often this has been identified already).
If not content, upload the file to http://www.virustotal.com and see how it ranks.
AV programs use algorithims to look for specific "sequences" or "commands" embeded in the file. These can be benign or menevolant. I assure you, Steam is not passing you a trojan. It is merely being detected by your AV due to what the file needs to acomplish.

Working in Cyber Security.... My PC flags things all the time (I fear VAC games for this reason). There are ways to Hash the files, but not worth it for the normal user. Chances are, once your Steam game installs, the "Trojan" will cease to exist. This occured to me with one game from Steam. I don't recall the title, but it urked me as well. :P
