There is nothing wrong with the file, it is certainly not a virus

Yes, it happened to me too! I've been playing with the addon+ mod. Today, aoh 2 crashed during the game, and the system said it was a Trojan. after checking, I reopened the game, but the addon+ disappeared, as did my progress (At first I thought it was because of the addon+

Every time I try to open the game it starts downloading an update and when it finishes I get a disk read error and my anti-virus says that it has detected threats, when I look at the details, it says there's a trojan on my computer. When I tried to open the game through files(without steam) then it appeared normal, but after closing it the anti-virus again detects a trojan.

the anti virus detects any file not recognizsed by windows as a trojan, it's a shitty system
