Virus detected by windows antivirus, perhaps worth a closer look on your end?

windows security prevented downloaded, detected "Trojan:Script/Oneeva.A!ml"

seems like perhaps somethin else has latched on? could be a false positive, but still worth looking into thoroughly.

as well, this has only happened with the newest file, i have downloaded other previous versions fine before

The same thing happened to me, did you find a solution or why does that come out?

Yeah, I also got trojan warning'd. "This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker."

yeah, the I.RULE updater also considers it a virus, no idea whats going on 


What are we do with it?

hlep

 cant play the game

got the same thing, seems like the developers have somehow got a virus on their computer and it's latching on to the game files or something.

Looks like its still got the trojan. Maybe one day ill give this a go

Yeah, seems like the author of this game decided to put a RAT in it at the last second then disappear off the internet. Shame, since the game looked like it had potential.

Guys, much more likely it is a false-positive.

It is a common problem with new games including those made using the GameMaker engine (which is the game’s engine). Here is an article describing that from GameMaker developers. And here and here are discussions on Reddit about it.

Basically antivirus software is constantly evolving to keep up with different malicious software being made and to be extra careful antivirus providers treat anything even remotely resembling a new virus as an actual virus before they are able to detect it better. And the reason you do not constantly get warnings for every piece of software you use as new viruses pop-up is because software developers get certificated to be trusted by antivirus providers.

I downloaded the last version (0.1.9.5) of the game in a few hours as it has been released and had no warnings about it and the file did not change since then. So, unless Hummer is a genius hacker, who developed a new virus never seen before by any of the antivirus providers and put it into the game before it was known about that virus, it is very improbable for the game to have a virus in it.

cpkmn That's cool and all but Edge won't let me even install the game

It might be a chromium issue. Using brave and it workn't. 

Was there a keep option? Found this pic here.

Nope. It said "Deleted - virus detected"

Try downloading it again. It should give you a notification, click it. It is gonna take you to the threat history where you can allow the last one. Re-download, it should be fine.

Alright i think i got a fix

if you have an older version of I.RULE downloaded,  use the I.RULE Updater to update your version to V9.4, and then after you do that attempt to install V9.5 . it should install correctly without issue. its working perfectly fine for me atm. like cpkmn said,  its probably a false positive from windows.
