So I checked some result pages linked here and looked at what the major players had to say about it(i'll skip all the ones that let it through, because that's what the majority of big players did): most of them qualify it as Generic and a few tell me it's because of the heuristics. That means the code is probably compressed(UPX or something) and can't be decompressed for scanning or the code could be used for malicious actions(like injecting code in executables, or creating hooks to executables). Both do not mean the code is actually malicious. As said the game is in beta and comes with a dev console of some kind. So my best guess is it's not malicious at all.
If you want to be warned when apps actually try to do some malicious stuff, try installing a HIPS. I'm using Comodo Firewall with Defense+(not the AV because Comodo AV stinks compared to others). Defense+ is a HIPS and found stuff my AV wouldn't if I didn't update it in time.

So I won the giveaway and installed it. However the game downloaded and my AV registered the start.exe as a Trojan. note I'm running Symantec CORPORATE. This has NEVER generated a false positive, because if it did, my inbox owuld be flooded with constant notifications from the thousnads of workstations I manage.
I'm exceedingly concerned about this and am wondering if anyone else has installed the game and scanned it?
The folder is also called "Power of Two TestAPp" which made finding teh game assets even more difficult.
