I think these must be false positives, as I sincerely doubt that a company like Valve would sneak a trojan in with two of their games :-D

I only posted the one report because they are both exactly the same file, and produce the same results. I can assure you that this file is NOT a Trojan, it passes virus checks by Comodo Antivirus, ClamWin Antivirus, A-squared Antivirus, Norton Antivirus, Malwarebytes anti-malware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Bitdefender Antivirus; all of them updated with the latest virus definitions, and using heuristics where applicable. Any Trojan that could slip past a scan by all of those deserves some kind of award.
