Had to reinstall Steam recently. Downloaded it from www.steampowered.com and installed. It updates, updates the steam platform, then gets flagged by AVG and MSE as a trojan.
It is the steam.exe file that’s getting flagged.
Anyone else have this experience? I redownloaded the install file a couple times and its still doing it.
False positive. As long as you make sure it’s the real website, and not like “steam.powered.com” or “steampowered.c.om”
Not surprised AVG caught it, they are weighted in the “catch it just in case” direction. More surprised about MSE. But wait a minute… are you using two AV programs at once? You shouldn’t do that.
Sorry, but I just have to say, whenever I see this thread title I picture a giant steel horse on rails with Confederate soldiers hiding inside it.
Hah; I was picturing some kind of giant steampunk horse as well, or possibly a steampunk robot that looked like a Trojan war soldier.
should have also mentioned that it diverts to store.steampowered.com
which i think is legit but wanted to make sure
