I can't download Theotown because of this strange virus that pops up on Steam every time. Steam originally said that theotown.exe isnt exist in steamlibrary and he started download it, but it got a virus, heeelp, idk what's going on. Steam also said that there was a disk read error.

#

Ok, i install theotown again and again, and theotown.exe always infected with this virus, how can this be

spare maple
#

did you actually download it from steam

oh yeah

#

windows defender is known for its false positives

#

wacatac is one of them

#

In short, recently some kind of garbage happened on my computer after I accidentally deleted the OneDrive folder and the desktop crashed, but I returned everything to its place

#

yeah it's weird

#

i can assure it doesn't have viruses

#

the only thing you can do about it is restore the files and disable windows defender or something

sonic burrow
#

will anything happen to my regions?

#

I copied the data folder (plugins and regions) from the folder named

#

it’s just that last time the regions flew away

#

if you reinstall the game completely, I don't think so

sonic burrow
#

I don't want to experience this again

spare maple
#

seeing as theotown.exe is the only file being flagged with the virus, you can just restore it and play your regions as per usual

#

as I said, wacatac is a false positive in this case

#

or, can you send me a pic of what the anti-virus says

sonic burrow
#

its on russian language

spare maple
#

nah it doesn't matter

sonic burrow
#

i try to download theotown again

#

omg, steam said there was a disk writing error

#

that happened to other games

#

maybe i need to reinstall steam?

#

okay i start downloading this sh__ on another disk AND ITS WORK

sonic burrow
#

failed to start the game process

spare maple
#

uuhhh

#

yeah I'm not sure I can understand a word of the reasoning

#

probably causated by windows defender doing goofy stuff

sonic burrow
#

idk, i just try to delete this

#

I mean steam

#

maybe it's broken

spare maple
#

hmm

spare maple
sonic burrow
#

just unlock the file?

spare maple
sonic burrow
#

okay

spare maple
#

and disable windows defender

#

or make an exception for that file

sonic burrow
#

okay

sonic burrow
#

#
