Factorio Forums

Good Afternoon,

My antivirus kicked in while playing multiplayer and decided to kill off the game and delete it, claiming it was a virus. Has anyone else had this occur? I'm guessing it was being overly aggressive, but I wanted to make sure. Here is a screenshot of the report:
I just upgraded to version 13, and I know I've never had this problem before, so I just wanted to see if others have reported this.

Thanks.

EDIT: I was running it via Steam with the overlay. I wonder if that confused it? So far running it not through steam seems to not trigger a problem...

Sounds like a poor excuse of an Antivirus since there's nothing that Factorio does that would match any kind of "virus signature".
