This file is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer

Any chance separating sputterfishes file as a seperate download for steam users? Or is it possible to download the mega mod and then manually remove the file myself and try again with the scan. Might be good to see if that is in fact the issue in this case.

You can delete "Resources\TWoS_Setup\SH5updateSteam.exe" file from the archive but then you wont be able to install the mod properly if you use Steam version...

With better antivirus or Internet Security programs, there should be a functionality (menu choice) in which you can send a quarantined file to the company to further test if a file is a virus or not. If it's not a virus (a so called False Positive), this will be taken in account for the next antivirus update database.
Read in your program instructions how to do that.

With better antivirus or Internet Security programs, you can define Exclusions for the virus scan. This means that a file which you have researched and which is not a virus will - accordingly to your instruction - not be scanned during the live scan or during the scheduled scan of your computer.
Read in your program instructions how you exclude files or folders from the scan, the procedure is different in any antivirus program.


@Veco,
maybe add the above in your TWoS notes!

I just re-downloaded the file to get to the bottom of what was being identified as the "problem" file.

It's as you say, the file for making it steam compatible is the one which AV is identifying as a threat. (See below)

J:\Downloads\Game modding\The Wolves of Steel 2.2_SH5 Expansion Pack_v2.2.6_Full.exe » WINRARSFX » Resources\TWoS_Setup\SH5updateSteam.exe - a variant of MSIL/Packed.Confuser.N suspicious application - cleaned by deleting [1]

Since the file is part of the entire executable file, I'm not sure how to isolate it and use what's left (I don't use steam for SH5). It just deletes the entire file.

For Kaspersky AV this file is sure

Do you have Winrar?

[Shibbyland]

No but I can get it. I am able to zip files however when I zipped this one it only went down a couple hundred megs.

Open TWoS installer with Winrar and delete the problematic file. Or even better, extract it first and then delete it. That way you can upload it for further analysis to the Eset "experts". I would really like to hear why our Steam converter tool is so "dangerous"...
