DeinFreund 3 years ago Should be fixed with the update ~2 hours ago. If you're on steam, verify files. +2 / -0

DeinFreund 3 years ago Can you upload your Zero-K.exe to virustotal and send me the link? The new exe that is being distributed should not show up on any antivirus according to virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/461e15113d0ad048a592dccc9260a13dd81d25408049606e13589fef6091c5ae/detection +0 / -0
accountio 3 years ago Even after Windows Security claiming to have removed the infection, it is still showing up on virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/12dbc496fdbcdc507d800f119b746c64d11c97f761bfe2756cf2ce42a2c5372a/detection +0 / -0
DeinFreund 3 years ago (edited 3 years ago) That's weird. So you are getting a different version of Zero-K.exe than I am. If you delete Zero-K.exe and then verify game files, do you still get this? +0 / -0

DeinFreund 3 years ago https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 It's in the settings menu when you right click on Zero-K in your steam library. +0 / -0
accountio 3 years ago Thanks. I uninstalled Zero-K for now, will wait a short while before reinstalling to be safe and will verify files then. +0 / -0
Dave[tB] 3 years ago I had the same problem. Validating game files is not replacing exe it seems (or another file at issue)? But once I uninstalled and reinstalled I had no trouble. +0 / -0
accountio 3 years ago Update: Reinstalled Zero-K. Windows Security Defender is not showing any alerts. Files successfully validated on Steam. However, virustotal is still showing a malware warning on the Zero-K.exe file: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/00a15cc731f7b60128777aa1ec0c63c0cefe88785ce93825c4dd00c61dbfa5bc/detection +0 / -0
