It also doesn't help that this game has been used in the past to spread trojans to user's machines.
As a War Thunder player thru Steam, I quit playing when my system monitors flagged an update from War Thunder as a malicious trojan. That was a couple or three years ago.
Cool game though.

- doodlebugging 5y agoThere may have been some "normal" component added to the update that I downloaded that was designed to verify that the machine could run the software after the update. I don't know how common anti-cheat functionality is in Steam distributions so if that is a thing and if it behaved in a manner that would trigger a trojan downloader warning from Malwarebytes then that could explain it. I enjoy(ed) the game a lot. Great graphics, reasonable sounds, good tools for choosing and maintaining your tanks, planes, etc. I thought it was one of the best tank battle simulators online. I have to keep a low threshold though for potential spyware, etc since I use my machine for work. It is a one strike and you're out thing with me to use a baseball analogy.
