So I installed Source DS two different ways, the in-depth way, using HLDSupatetool, and using the shortcut in Steam's My Tools. They both worked fine(none of my friends could join?). Then today I go to run my server again, but it comes up with a trojan horse the dedicated.dll file. I honestly don't think that it's a trojan horse, cause it didn't come up with that warning before, and I didn't download any new content. But I didn't want to risk it so I deleted everything, then reinstalled, still getting the trojan horse. What could possibly be the problem?
Another problem I have is people cannot join my server, even though I can find it in the internet tab for CS:S games. I can join it however. How can I make it possible for other people to join my game?
All help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Travito

Hey Travito I have the exact same problem, about the Trojan. It says dedicated.dll is infected, don't know why but I just disabled my virus program and ran srcds and works fine now, annoying thing is that I have to disable it all the time now.

What's your anti-virus?
It might call it a Trojan because it calls out to a server to let others connect to you.
Virus scanning technology is flawed no matter what way you do it.
SRCDS is safe if you pull the updater/installer from steam's site.
Unless you have been DNS-poisoned and the download wasn't pulled from steam but a third party site.... but that's very slim and prof the being a network security major makes you UBER paranoid.

I use avast, its a pretty popular program out there so don't think its the program's fault but I probably downloaded the SRCDS off some site but I don't think I would get a virus from doing that since avast blocks all untrusted sites. Though I just started using SRCDS yesterday for my friends to join and had no problems at all.

I use avast as well, and yes, when I first ran srcds the microsoft thingy popped up and said Block/Unblock...I hit unblock, so it should stay like that? I didn't dl anything from a third party site, just the Steam client and the steam site. I'll give everything another go, with high hopes. How can I get my friends to join my server?

If you have a router you need to port forward the port for counter strike then tell your friends your ip and connect? thats how I did it

Easiest way is to DMZ your server
