Given the results mostly stating it is a generic trojan, it is probably something in the way the code is written that causes similar behavior to that of malware, and it is tripping up the security scanners because of this. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen this happen with a legitimate application, however this is definitely something that needs to be addressed by the developers, either through updates, or through an explanation to the community.

the changes of this build were not shared on github aswell... please share the changes , and explain what measures were taken to resolve the restart issue after updating l4d2 . the last commit merely changes the comments nothing more, and downloading it will not give us the same l4d2.dll file that exists on sourcemod website, i will not download or use it until i know what changes were made

I have the same issue. My L4D2 server is unusable with Windows SourceMod without upgrading it, but I can't upgrade it because of the virus warning. Can someone make an official statement on this or fix it?

This virus issue goes back to version 6946 for SourceMod Windows stable and version 7125 for SourceMod Windows dev.
