PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic

[Silden]

I'm using the Steam Experimental build 1338341.

I joined a multiplayer game this evening and was in the game for a few hours when my game closed down and my virus checker reported that games\steam\steamapps\common\factorio\bin\factorio.exe had malware (PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic).
At the same time, temp\mp-download.zip saves\_autosave1.zip _autosave1.bak.zip _autosave2.zip _autosave2.bak.zip _autosave3.zip and _autosave3.bak.zip were all rolled back actions of detected object.

Let me know if you need any further details.

its a generic warning that means it detected something that might look like a virus but probably isnt
if you downloaded any cracked or unknown programs yes it would come up as a virus but since this is a legit game and you probably got it from steam it will be fine just put it on the whitelist

I got it too, it's a false positive on Kaspersky. Happen during autosave in multiplayer. The server told factorio to save, and during that factorio delete previous save, kaspersky detect that as virus related activity. If you look into your save folder you migth see things like _autosave3.bak.zip or similar That Kaspersky attempting to recover the deleted save by factorio. I added factorio to whitlist and no problem since then

to do that : open kaspersky -> Settings (bottom left, the cogs) ->Additionnal -> Threats and exclusions -> link "Manage exclusions" -> Add a new exclusion, select factorio's executable.

Uninstall kapersky

A problem with it ? It's a good anti-virus. It have false positive like any other similar software, but no problem with virus anymore since I have it.
