TORC Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Trying to update DCS World to 2.9.7.58923 through Steam today (10/08/2024), when downloading files Windows Defender detects Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml in: file: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\bin\AV8B_CPT.dll file: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading\223750\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\bin\M2KC_CPT.dll Using an abundance of caution given what I understand about the two modules, I have removed them by unchecking the "Install" box next to them in the Steam Properties DLC page for DCS World. Can you please investigate this issue and advise the result? Do you use VR? Do you feel sad when you are just a dismbodied set of eyes floating in the cockpit? Check out my list of paid aircraft modules that support the visible virtual pilot body:

Can you please investigate this issue and advise the result? hello. lots of posts about this same thing. not virus. these files get flagged because they are encrypted. this keeps people stealing intellectual property. try this if you are comfortable add exceptions for Saved Games and the Steam folder where DCS resides. i have standalone. so my game folder will be different. https://forum.dcs.world/search/?q=virus&quick=1 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

TORC Posted August 12, 2024 Author Posted August 12, 2024 As an update - it appears Windows Defender has been updated and no longer recognises these files as malware. I reinstalled the modules today successfully with no warnings. 1 Do you use VR? Do you feel sad when you are just a dismbodied set of eyes floating in the cockpit?
