I just bought MSFS on Steam yesterday, installed it, didnāt have a chance to play and then went to play it this morning. Got this update with this virus warning, found this thread here. I updated Windows, but my game will not launch now, assuming due to Windows deleting the questionable file. Since Steam only installs the launcher, I canāt use āverify filesā to replace it. How do I fix this?
If I may ask. And since it is MY data on the line, i think i can. Being that both, the OS and Windows Defender, are made by MS, as is flight sim. What do you mean with āmitigatedā Is MS just allowing the Trojan through windows defender? Or was it a false positive, and if so why a Trojan? Malware, sure fine. TROJAN, NOT OK. being this game is stupid expensive, getting a notice stating that official MS software has a Trojan allowing a back door in as not cool. PERIOD.

It was a false positive that has been corrected in the latest defender definition update.
