Trying to install Battlefield 1942 but getting trojan alert

[jermz_2k]

I’m trying to install BF 1942 and the Gamespy patch and I’m getting this trojan alert:

PDM:Trojan.Win32.Generic

Here are the relevant files:

Moderation edit : Files removed

The second one passed an online virus scan from virusscan.jotti.org. Anyone know if the trojan alert is a false positive?

the Battlefield 1942 gamespy patch is only used to replace the original bf1942.exe with a new one that introduces numerous fixes.

It fixes the server issue with gamespy by redirecting the master server to a new server.

It fixes Windows 10 no longer having safedisc DRM you don't require a CD anymore.

It fixes resolution problems the executable allows you to set any resolution.

The scan results from virustotal were zero viruses so it's a false positive the patch has been used for so many years already it was originally manufactured in 2014.

Please see virus scan results.
