    Hi as the title says, I installed the new Update which released yesterday. Today Windows Defender came up with a Trojan in the Beamng.exe, and now I really don't know what to do

    According to VirusTotal for those antivirus vendors the new beamng exe is detected as a threat :

    But eh. It might be a false positive. I guess so

    Glad im not the only one experiencing this shit..

    Updated the game before it gave me these errors:
    "Game libarely/folder has a virus/trojan, do not launch!"
    "Missing game files"
    "Driver disk error"
    "Write error disk"

    Before steam removed some files :) (Or perhaps windows defender.)

    Yeah, I just got the notification on Windows Defender and nearly had a heart attack. So I assume it is just a false positive.

    I confirm. A few minutes after I've discovered the problem the game suddenly updated and the file was now safe for MS defender :)
