Trojan!

Some kind of physical defect? Strange religious beliefs? Or just abnormal?

This doesn’t eliminate false positives, Microsoft themselves admit that it happens and have a procedure for processing them.

No antivirus is infallible.

True, but you don’t know if what Windows Security just recently detected is false or not.

Even if it is false, at least the software is working and doing it’s job. Always better to be safe than sorry. The main thing is that CCP knows about it and is looking into it.

Yup I had this last week sometime. Same thing, Eve patched and then next Defender scan throws a hissy over some file in the cache with (supposedly) that trojan. :woman_shrugging:

I figured since the forums were not on fire it was just an oddity and deleted the file in question.

False positive. Report to your AV provider and cary on.

ps. ignore forum trolls and don’t get draged more into this ā– ā– ā– ā– 

and its porn you monkey

ā€œStop Eating Avocado!ā€

Windows Security app on my Computer has already removed it and the Launcher works just fine.

No offense but I’ll just wait and see what CCP has to say. I submitted a Support Ticket 8 hrs ago and have already received a reply saying they are investigating the issue.

Hmm…you seem more than a bit defensive on that. Raises a warning flag. Hope you don’t mind Interpol taking a look at your computer real quick…

btw - just as an aside as I’m sure it would have no bearing on your situation at all - Did you know that a computer will tell it’s entire browsing history even if the user ā€œdeletesā€ it? Interesting, huh?

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.

Messin’ with them Greeks again, have you boy?

Is this really real :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Looks like they’re just binary data semi-randomly - cached data - thrown together, which eventually could cause something like this to happen. It’s not even an executable, so even if there was a virus in there, it couldn’t do anything. CCP isn’t going to throw executable code in a cache file easily modifyable by everyone.

Anyone know where I’d find folder that on a Linux (Mint) system ?

Windows Security app on my HP computer (Win 10 system) detected it when I was verifying all downloaded files in the ā€˜Shared Cache’ of the Eve Launcher.

Nah, its a dude called Obvious Plant who makes his own stuff like that, then slips it into a store lol

We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing. This has been flagged with the relevant vendors so they can investigate.
