Trojan Found in Downloadable [SOLVED]

[Lnrd]

Anything you guys know?

[Spacemuffin]

Did you download from - https://pokemonrevolution.net/download.php

Try update defender, if that won't help turn off defender until you download and extract game, after that just give exclusion to folder where PRO is extracted and turn back on Defender. I hope that's helps.

Yes sir, media fire link for the x64

I wouldn't suggest turning it off if there is a Trojan in the downloadable.

So I downloaded it back when the new patch came out and had no Trojan detection's with Windows Defender. Make sure its up to date and try downloading it again.

I did, I had the Failed Mono error, then tried following the resolution for it and Defender found that. Downloaded it just maybe 30 mins ago.

So for the failed mono error did you try the guide someone made? Guide for Failed Mono Error

Hi there,

 

The alert from your anti-virus was merely a false positive that was triggered and your computer is safe as long as you are downloading from the official download links.

 

The reason why there is a false positive in the system is due to how we obfuscate our code to make our client more secure. As most viruses are also hidden in the same manner, the anti-virus detects it as a potential threat anyway. I hope this clears up your concerns; if you want to do any further testing, you are free to test do some testing; here's a Guide on Troubleshooting False Positives; VirusTotal is also a good site as another check to determine a possible virus. Feel free to test PRO files.

 

As quoted in the Issue Guide:

For those who are running any OS below Windows 10:

1. Delete your PRO files
   
2. Disable Microsoft security essential/Windows Defender
   
3. Unzip PRO current version again
   
4. Add PRO folder to the "exclusion list" of MSE/WD
   
5. Enable Microsoft Security Essential/Windows Defender

For those who are running Windows 10:

1. Disable Windows Defender
   
2. Unzip PRO again
   
3. Add the folder to the "exclusion list" of Windows Defender
   
4. Re-enable Windows Defender

The source for both workarounds listed above is here.

 

If you're running Windows 10 and the above workaround doesn't work for you, alternatively try this (source here):

1. Have your Windows Defender on
   
2. Remove the files and unzip again
   
3. Open the game and close it
   
4. Go to the Windows balloon in the right corner
   
5. Open the virus scan
   
6. Restore the quarantined file
   
7. Open the game again, it should work now.
   
8. To avoid doing this in the future, add the game folder as an exception in your antivirus.

At the moment, these are the current known workarounds, so let me know if they work for you. If not, more details on the problem you're experiencing will greatly help me troubleshoot this with you.

 

Kind Regards, Astraea.
