Civilization 6 Message Board  

Hey Guys,
Anyone else's trainer getting tagged and blocked as a "Heuristic Virus"?? Trojan Horse Gen 9. Just want to double check before I override it.

Your antivirus or security product is falsely identifying our trainer or DRM as a virus or Trojan. All of our files are 100% safe and it is typical for some security products to block trainer injections. Please see our antivirus warning page for more information. You can either whitelist the trainer in your security product settings, temporarily disable the software or uninstall it and find a product that does not routinely flag our trainers as false positives. Please note that no two trainers are alike. We use different injection methods and security templates all the time. Some or none may be detected and then suddenly one might be. Rest assured these files are safe.

Extract trainer and make sure trainer/launcher/editor is in a folder excluded from virus scans. Empty quarantine folder if needed or set anything trainer related (paths and EXE's) to ALLOW. Disable any Live/Active/Real-Time tools which may trigger false positives in security software which may terminate the game/trainer when it's activated or options used.

C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Cheathappens

may need to be added to exclusions as well. Run trainer as admin, read the instructions and try again.

False positive. File is clean.

I am not able to get the trainer work. Each number option I press, i hear the activated voice, but there is no effect on the game. Any idea? I am using latest trainer

Be sure to give the trainer Admin rights.

Have you tried option #1 as described in the Readme.txt?

Numpad 1: Reset Trainer - if the trainer stops working between missions,
between loads, or when changing to another game mode, press
this to recapture the game data. A good rule of thumb is to
use this right when you first enter the game and see your
civilization units and cities.


Merry Christmas!

Or to add something what Jaks already pointed to:

Have you read the readme/instructions at all?

I tried to launch the trainer but it does not start

Please provide some more information. How, where, when ...?

Also, what is your Windows OS edition, version and build # and which security software do you use?
