I'm finding it odd that all the fear mongering is coming from accounts with little comments and no avatars. I'm still not going to risk running it but it is strange

Dont often engage her just download and be on my way but when people are beeing dicks and integrating malware you say someting, especialy since most post on here are fine.
I been on this site for years upon years i just don't normally post because this is the first time I've run into a virus here so why customize acc "Shrug".

Now this makes sense. Doing just a brief search and I found
"Enigma Protector flagging as a virus usually means your antivirus (like
Microsoft Defender) sees its anti-tamper/DRM code as suspicious, often triggering a "Trojan:Win32/Packed" warning"
I would still like to wait from a reply from Bob69 before actually booting it up though

I don't engage much either tbh, but the game is really dope and in the wave of shitass AI slop which in my opinion is ruining this site (thank bhaal for tag filters) I just had to give it a good review. Finished the game, nuttid to recollections, closed the game and now I'm here, tracking a thread about a detection lol
Fuck windows protector if i went by what it says I'd never download anything ever again. Virus total has like 9 big dogs saying it's bad ontop of the fact when i ran it on my dummy computer the shit launched abunch of processes that have NOTHING to do with the game. I'm not saying it's impossible it's the weird game coding as i remember similar things happening with the previous release but IT IS WALKING AND TALKING LIKE A VIRUS SO I THINK IT IS ONE T B H.

First off it uses Windows Defender as an example, other anti viruses could give a false positives as well. As for your computer running other processes that could absolutely be because of the DRM and whatever the cracker did to get around it. Hell I don't know what you've done with that computer, that can be something completely unrelated as far as I know. I do know the upload team here does a pretty good job at making sure everything it clean before uploading here but I also know viruses have slipped through before which is why I'm still being cautious.
Pretty much 100% of the time from the site it's been false positives but this time the game is actin weird nothing I've done on the other computer would matter because anytime i use it i full reinstall windows as i functionally use it as a safer sandbox. Also ngl i looked at the gallery and it was okay at best i wouldn't risk it for the 20 something pictures.

I'm not going to argue taste with you because that's stupid and pointless but can you explain the weird processes you were seeing? I pulled out an old laptop and loaded the game up on it and nothing it standing out to me.

Okay I analyzed it deeper, from what I understand a XOR inverted url was found in the executable code, which triggered a detection. That url being enigmaprotector site, which is in turn is a type of DRM.
Mayhaps the game uses enigmaprotector and validates through it, but the address is XOR'rd in the game code to make it harder to crack, in turn causing AVs to trip out as xoring a URL could also be used to obfuscate addresses in actual malicious software?

Vikingfile redirects to a fake download button that leads to mediafire which downloads a 34mb file that is flagged by chrome as dangerous. Bad hoster, we should support this BS.
It says it's gonna do that. Leave the new tab open, go back to the first one and hit the download button, should give you the real download, if it open a new tab again wait for it to load then go back and hit download again.
Eh? Definitely not AI, this is so obvious hand-drawn and unique that I wonder how you came to this conclusion.
