Capcom provides deletion tool for SFV 1.09 security risk

Steam

As previously noted, we have discovered that the ‘Capcom.sys’ file included in the title update Ver. 1.09 of the PC version of Street Fighter V contains some security risks. We are now releasing a tool to delete the files with security issues at the following time.

9/30/2016 6:00PM (PDT)


<Which users are affected by this issue.>
Users who have downloaded the title update Ver.1.09 on 9/22, but have not applied the additional patch that became available on 9/23, as well as users who had not restarted their PC after applying the additional patch.
After restarting your PC, the Capcom.sys file becomes invalid, and will not affect your systems. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please restart your PC.

After you have restarted your PC, please run the check/deletion tool listed below. This deletion tool will allow you to easily remove the Capcom.sys file, as well as search for any registry entries that are tied to the file, and delete them if discovered.

Other information regarding the deletion tool:

The reason for distributing as a bat file, and executing the file
We have decided to distribute the deletion tool as a bat file, so that users can see the source code and be assured that this file does not contain any harmful data. This also means that it would be very easy to manipulate the code to be used for malicious purposes. We ask that all users obtain and execute this file that they obtained through the Steam client. Obtaining this file through other sources can put you at risk of opening up your system to additional security risks. We ask that you do not download and execute files obtained by unknown sources.

We would like to again apologize for the inconvenience, and regret such situation has happened. Thank you for your continued support of Street Fighter V.
