Just wanted to pass along the following message from CCP Caffeine on the Trojan alert issue. Looks to be a false flag and we’ve passed the information along to Microsoft who’s heuristics are flagging it. Might take a couple days for them to update and this should go away.
Hi all
I would just like to thank everyone for filing reports when these situations occur. Rest assured; we investigate them with the highest priority. If you ever have a security concern related to EVE, then always file a support ticket so we can investigate.
Unfortunately, we see false positives for EVE occasionally and this appears to be one of those times. These usually coincide with a patch release, with the new files triggering the heuristics engine for some anti-virus vendors. Once these vendors have updated their definitions, the issue stops happening. Looking at past support tickets, we seem to have a number filed within the same day or two, and then nothing after. This is the expected pattern with false detections.
If anyone encounters a security issue in the future, please let us know so we can investigate it.
