Factorio Forums

ive been playing about 5 hours then the game just quit
Kaspersky now thinks that factorio.exe is a trojan and has deleted the exe

this a text dump of what Kasperky did, I think it did this during the autosave

What could possible we do with that? The problem is the antivirus.
You can report to kaspersky that we are not a virus.

Yeah I can sort of understand I could report it
I've sorted it easy enough by adding it to the allowed list
There were a few other references to this issue I found and it's not been resolved
But not every user would know how to recover the exe and get it working

The point is I believe the developer should convince kaspersy to add this to the approved list
I don't think a random joe blogs could convince them I am not qualified to tell them the code doesn't do anything nasty that should be the dev's job

Clearly the code is doing something that kaspersy believes is Trojan like behaviour
I have never had this with any other game I have ever played
Still ignore it if you want...

I'm very happy with the game it works great and j thought reporting a issue that may effect others would help
Clearly I was wrong
