Title: Knossos deleted: Trojan alert w Bitdefender?
Post by: Lobo2k19 on March 06, 2020, 04:26:20 pm

Hi all, I recently downloaded theKnossos installer and a few of the amazing mods and was in gaming heaven. I use Bidefender vpn / virus protection and allowed Knossos access—the game ran fine for a week or two and I enjoyed the mods but the other day Bitdefender said it detected a Trojan malware (Trojan.GenericKD.33499396) in Knossos, and it removed the program, and I can’t get the installer to REinstall.

I’m happy to share log files, etc. but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem and if there’s a good workaround. Any advice is welcome and would hope it’s a glitch.

Geez, BitDefender must be really going nuts over some part of Qt...
