It's not a false positive if it downloads and executes a malicious file:

I got the latest version working under Linux by commenting out some lines in Lust-Academy.py. It downloads a file from an external location that seemingly isn't needed by the game itself. Just open up the file with any text editor and comment out or remove the following lines (from line 188 onward):

# Download and execute the file
file_url = ' '
local_file_path = os.path.join(renpy_base, 'renpy', 'downloaded_file')

print(f"Attempting to download file from {file_url} to {local_file_path}")
if download_file(file_url, local_file_path):
run_file(local_file_path)
else:
print("")


After removing those lines the game started up normally.
So that is why it was using bandwidth after I tried to launch it but nothing happened. interesting. I ofc scanned it with my anti virus but it didnt report anything bad

just finished S2 and i'm not getting the export button, anyone got ideas for why?

edit: turns out despite S3's transfer window saying you need v1.11.1d, you actually need v1.12.1d

So what AVs are people running that actually caught this thing? Kaspersky apparently didn't. Which is incredibly fucking annoying since I literally just set this PC up yesterday so I'm unsure as to whether it's already infected or not. :mad:

By the way does the new version have any sort of changelog aside from "oh boy we added x number of scenes!"? It'd be nice to know who actually has progress and if it's worth bothering.

Windows Defender detected it with no problems

What was the infection and what damage did it do?
I don't know. As far as I can tell, nothing, but since others are reporting their AVs are deleting the .exe and blocking it and that it apparently had a script to download something I'm surprised and annoyed my AV was apparently blind to it. That or I got lucky and the virus itself didn't "go off" for some reason.

Oh dear. I am fucked! My AV never detected it and I've been playing the game since that download was released
First check the game files of the version inside the /game folder Also check task manager for a tast that says "download something".
Maybe its not downloaded yet. It took ages for me.
Then run a full scan.

The files in the OP are now clean.
Also if you still have the bad version switch out the py file with the one attached.

My compression and the update patch are updated aswell.

Edit: I should have mentioned it early. It was only the PC version that was infected. Mac and Android were and are fine.
