Well, it should be. Like I said, I literally JUST set this PC up yesterday with a fresh install, update, and initial scan.Im using Kaspersky and it caught it maybe yours not up to date?
All I can think of after running a full scan from both Kaspersky and Windows Defender is that, for whatever reason, I got lucky and it didn't trigger. That or Kaspersky stopped it but didn't give me a notification or delete anything, and it didn't show up in an event log so I'm honestly not sure.Kasperky caught it the second I tried running the exe. Immediately shut it down and deleted all bad stuff. Also ran checks for damage automatically, seems all good. As the others said, somehow the malicious code itself is not detected (as dangerous?) when not triggered. But the moment it tries anything Kaspersky gave it a kick to the bin. So do a full scan just to be sure. But in my case Kaspersky seems to work just fine when needed.
Either way, I'm apparently "clean".
I guess this is what people feel like when they dodge an STD bullet.
This may explain my situation as well.From what I read in another thread with the same infection, the file was downloading on the first run and executed on the second run.
I had started the game immediately after downloading and was wondering why my pc fans were starting up (which happens when there's large downloads). But then I got distracted and had the game running in the background and never closed it until I read the warnings here.
Closed the game, deleted everything, scanned, reverted to a recent system state just in case, scanned again with different scanner, no alarms. Seems I doged a bullet
