BitDefender deleted Xenonauts.exe


Recommended Posts

Using the GOG 1.09 exe. After the latest update of BitDefender, when running the game it considered it "potentially malicious" and automatically deleted the executable. This draconian measure against something it didn't even positively identify as a threat has put me off BitDefender quite a bit.

I'm going to redownload and reinstall the game to get it back, but you may want to contact BitDefender to get them to stop flagging (and deleting) the executable, so others hopefully won't have to jump through the same hoop.

There was a similar issue with Avast Anti Virus not long ago, it simply deleted lots of stuff without even telling anyone about. Software that was not even close to having anything suspicious, like several game executables, office executables ...

Seems like there's something wrong currently in the 'Security World'.
