My AV doesn't like ZK either. I think because it can self-update.

Received the same alert from Windows Defender. Steam and/or Zero-K need to so something.

id support to ask steam why and since when they support virus spreading and weird donation feedback policies of just ignoring, removing and punishing people for questions about their previous donations
sounds dodgy

i also noticed some breaks against GDPR tho, as personal data, which was (requested to be) deleted, suddenly is back up after half a year

I always knew they mine crypto shitcoins using chobby :P

P.S. seriously guys, just buy a fucking certificate for signing exe files
it's not -that- expensive and it verifies publishers identity(all decent anti viruses will fuck off)

I had the same problem of having Windows Defender identify something about Zero-K as a virus when I tried downloading the newest update. I had to tell Windows Defender to let it go.

I don't recall this happening before so I imagine its something in the new update.

I mean, it's not that hard to take it one step furthur and be watching a dozen or so people poop through their webcams at once. perhaps also at 4k resolution and with high-definition audio.

Everyone who poops right in front of their PCs are in grave danger ^_^

Please use the defender/your antivurs system to report that this is a false positive.
The only way to prevent it from labeling it.

Zero-K virus

symptoms: a maps folder that gradually swells to 200gb size

cure: goodbye post in forum, typically followed by long regression period.

other notes: linked to heightened enthusiasm for cooked seafood

70$/year for 3 year certificate, pretty sure we can find 70$/year as a community, can we?

"reasonable" overview of prices in the area:
https://cheapsslsecurity.com/sslproducts/codesigningcertificate.html

we should buy and sign both chobby.exe and spring.exe and executable of installer we provide outside of steam, this should be done as a part of release process

Read about code signing, all those AV alarms are -heuristical- analysis because executable comes from an -untrusted- source(interwebs) and -unknown- publisher. When publisher is known thru a chain of trusted CA all heuristical analysis usually shuts down and only classical signature search stays which has nothing on chobby/spring

They also state there is extended validation available for 800$/3 years(200$/year) to bypass windows SmartScreen... not sure if it worths it, even basic signing should alleviate most of those problems

Basically when executable is signed it allows to
- verify publisher's identity(which gets recorded by CA that gives u the certificate)
- ensure that executable has not been modified since the time it's been signed by publisher

Those 2 are enough to ensure it's not a malware, and if it is means certificate been stolen/publisher went rogue => certificate can be blocked/revoked.
Reduces malware spread by 99.99%

There's no way I'm letting this go as an exception. Given multiple virus programs have flagged it, compromised code is much more likely than a new feature tripped all the scanners at once.

The developers need to step up and either remove the "feature" causing the issue, or get right with signing the exe.
