Hello Foxhole community, I spotted a "Trojan.Win32.Bazon.a" in my Foxhole Pre-Alpha. I wanted to play the game and my Antivirus Software (Kaspersky Internet Security) popped up to show me this warning: http://i.imgur.com/lTGVACr.png
I hope a Developer sees this post in order to check if everyone else got infected through Steam too or where the Trojan is originating from.
Name of the Trojan: PDM Trojan Win32.Bazon.a
best regards

This is most likely a false positive. Since trojans attempt to 'hide'/exist within running programs, the way anti-virus software tries to find them is by scanning all running programs for bit 'patterns' of known trojans. However, this method can lead to antivirus incorrectly categorizing a program as a trojan, which is most likely what happened here.
You can try updating Kaspersky (as the developers improve it over time to catch fewer false positives) or ping them on their forums to ask for support. They can analyze the executable and correct the false positive if one exists.
