Virus notifaction on download

[Wegenbartho]

Hey Paradox-team, while I was downloading the update my Avira anti virus software notified me that it moved two files in quarantine.

Dunno what to think about this, can you double-check on your side that this is just a false alarm?
Full name of the infectiontype is HEUR/AGEN.1035894

I get the same message, HEUR/AGEN.1035894 just is a hit by the heuristic scan engine, so it looks light it might be a virus to Avira but its not a known signature.

Paradox seems to have some terrible luck with GC

 

[PlantusGaming]

Happened to me too!

Thats supposed to be their legal privacy EULA thingie they added recently.

 

[Davout67]

Same here

Have you considered uploading the file on VirusTotal to check how many AV programs pick it up as malware? I would do that myself but no PC access atm.

It's a 3rd party we use to display the ingame browser, basically an embedded Chrome.
It is safe to ignore this alert.

 

[Hojsimpson]

Not surprising.

Will it be fixed eventually? I can't imagine that there is no way to fix it and saying to ignore it is little strange to me. I haven't seen any game developer saying to ignore similar problem.

We are working on a hotfix (will probably be 1.28.2) that should resolve the issue.

In the meantime it's safe to let your AV software add CEFProcess.exe to the whitelist.

 

[wielkiciensteam]

No, your antivirus won't be fixed.

It's not problem in the antivirus...

We are working on a hotfix (will probably be 1.28.2) that should resolve the issue.

Thank you

I've wanted to buy the new DLC but now I'm scared...Is the game safe?

Yes

I had the same recent problem with this file in the Stellaris beta patch but fixed it by telling avira to ignore

Usually there are warnings from antivirus programs if the system is really at risk, and sometimes even without any warning you can lose important data, such as user passwords, which gives wide access to hackers. In addition, I can say that not a little important factor is also the very protection of the system user from password loss using social engineering by hackers, so it is worth considering such an alternative as windows logon , which is the ability to generate one-time passwords directly for the windows logon client. This approach guarantees unique security, because now your user password data will be securely protected by 2FA.
