![]() ![]() AFAIK Proton doesn't mount any folder besides the game's profile so a virus wouldn't have access to the rest of the system, but I'd have to confirm that. So possibly the system was old enough to be vulnerable and got hacked by one of those automated online threats.Īny chance you have some other software that was compromised? Any cracked version of anything, trainer, etc? Since Wine and Proton are so good at making any windows software run in them, it documentedly works even for windows viruses. You see, as you got everything from official sources (Steam, Proton and the game), there should be no infection at all coming from them. unless of course there is a specific known issue you are having on later versions of LM, but even then at some point it will have to be figured out so you don't stay stuck in an unsupported version with no security updates. So given all that, I'd recommend keeping LM always at the latest version (or at least at >=19), setup Timeshift and always apply updates soon after they are made available (especially security ones, but since updates are quite painless, just get them all always). ![]() You can apply all updates daily and not worry about it suddenly breaking or changing things in an invasive way like sometimes happens on Windows. Linux Mint specifically is also very conservative about changing stuff within a given version of the distro, offers Timeshift as an automated backup + recovery tool, and has very reliable and quick to apply updates and point-release upgrades (as do most linux distros). Linux is intrinsically very secure, so tipically it doesn't need any antimalware installed (like that bitdefender), as long as you keep it well updated. which one is it? Depending on that it might have reached EOL (End Of Life), so might receive no more updates, and thus be vulnerable to all sorts of malware. You said you have an "old" version of Linux Mint. delete the wine profile (be careful to backup any relevant savefiles that might be in it, if you did play the game much before this happened), then run it again to force the profile folder to rebuildĪnd in any case contacting Valve is important, as this may be a real security issue. ask steam to check the integrity of the game files scan the same executables found on some other game's proton profile did you customize the game's proton profile in any way? (eg: installing. was that game downloaded via Steam or some other source? ![]() which proton version is that, the one normally installed by Steam or some custom build from a 3rd party? The best alternative is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which is free. what was the exact path where you found the files? There are more than 50 alternatives to Bitdefender Antivirus for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Android Tablet. Given that and the fact that these files have been tagged as "PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) ", it *might* be a false positive. "Still more DLLs are built as PE files by default." Wine has been changing a lot of its innards recently: ![]()
