Trojan?

Post by SuperAngryMan »

Windows Defender keeps calling the 1.7.2 version a threat. It quarantines and deletes it. I'm a little concerned and can't get this to work without shutting down my security.

That file doesn't exactly look right... Where are you downloading from?

I downloaded it from the link on the front page.

https://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable

Same place I've gone to from the start. I imagine this is a false positive. I just wanted to make mention of it.

You can get the exe scanned by Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

If they deem it safe they'll update the Windows Defender signatures.

As I don't use Windows, and thus have not witnessed the warning first hand, I haven't submitted it, but anyone else can.
