Firstjobro - malvare trojans?

[Zantetsukensan]

Hi! Found a server with interesting mechanics, but Virustotal says, that you better not touch that Patcher
https://firstjobro.com
and usual client of RO is 3-4GB, when this one is 7.5
is it how Private servers work theese days or is it s scam?

Not saying it's not a virus but a lot of servers get false positives from virus scans

[Shuchou]

Most servers are still 3-4gb in size, it is normal for patchers with gepard installed to get flagged as a gametool like you see on lines 1 and 4 of your image. Not so much the others, at least in my experience over the last ten-ish years. 7.5gbs is a TON of added files seeing as RO uses images to make the world look 2.5D

The short answer is, you're probably fine.
The slightly longer answer is that, if they're using Gepard, then that's probably what's giving antiviruses a positive, and it's no wonder; people have been considering it shady (or outright calling it malware) since back when it replaced Harmony.

That said, damn, 7.5gb? I don't remember ever playing a server this big, even those ultra-customized aren't this large. Also, I just tried to load that site and got a certificate error, SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE.

If you don't feel comfortable trusting the server's installer, by all means don't do it.

This has been explained in the forum before, I'll simply link you to the most recent one for more readings:

A simple 100kb or less file can do a lot of damage in the case of spyware, so having a big client could mean the server is heavily modified graphically and nothing else.

thx everybody for reply
btw RMS brought that server down from search list, dunno why.

The server is breaking our terms of services by hosting an "rms-event".  Giving reward for review is not allowed.
