Question about Launcher
-
Hi there, I don't know if this is the right category to post this in.
I am a very paranoid person about my PC and only allow programs that I trust. But I'm a hardcore Bo2 player it's my favorite Call of Duty.
I see the launcher is a false positive.
Does the launcher ONLY update when its open?
Will the launcher only access my steam game where bo2 is?
I went into Resource Monitor when the game and launcher where not open and I didn't see anything bad happening so that's good.
Is there are any other things that the launcher does? -
Astras it updates itself and the pluto clientfiles as soon as you start it, it can't update itself while it's open actually. It only accesses your game folder that you specified in the game settings and %localappdata%/Plutonium where it stores the launcher files and clientfiles for all pluto games.

If truly are suspicous then you can run it through a .NET decompiler such as dotPeek. I looked through it like an hour ago and I didnt find anything weird. However, I think the .net executabe only handles updating. I'm pretty sure that most if it is some kind of javascript frontend (looking at %localappdata%/Plutonium/assets) it doesnt seem obfuscated, so you could look there aswell.

pesto the thing that av's detect is plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe which is the part of the client that loads the game binary into memory and does all the modifications to game memory. It's also obfuscated which by itself is a reason it gets detected by some av's.
