When I started War Thunder today, my antivirus software detected something.

It’s in German and basically says:

"Infected object found
5 minutes ago

Function: Virus protection

The file D:\Games\WarThunder\warthunder_yupcache\win64\cef64.zip is infected with Gen:Variant.Barys.503586.
The threat has been successfully blocked, your device is safe."

warthunder_virus

What am i supposed to do? Is it safe?
Should i ignore it?

I investigated further and Bitdefender told me this:

D:\Games\WarThunder\warthunder_yupcache\win64\cef64.zip=>libcef.dll (BAD CRC)

warthunder_virus2

@Smin1080p_WT is it possible to confirm if it’s false-positive or something else? I believe that might be but things like this that may harm users should be clarified.

I hope it can run as successfully as the virus. Now the game of War Thunder on my computer will crash within 1 minute.

it’s not a virus

Also if you read it says game cache
just means the DLL is stored inside that archive, not directly in the folder and libcef.dll is a common file across many apps, malware sometimes disguises itself with the same names !

DLL is stored inside that archive it’ the game Gaijin packages zip file

also just to make sure you downloaded war thunder from website right?
