I just recently downloaded an update to this game and windows immediately marked it as a serious threat and a trojan virus, can you explain this? Screenshot

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to write this. We assure you that Project Kat contains no viruses or malware.

As with any executable file on the internet, there's always a possibility of false negatives. A good way of telling if this is the case is checking virus total: Project Kat 64 bit and Project Kat 32 bit (v1.2.1) - As you can see there are 5 out of 66 anti-viruses that decided the 32 bit version may be dangerous (even though we compile both versions from the same code!), whereas zero did for the 64 bit version.

Anti-viruses tend to be overzealous about packed executables, especially unsigned ones. Ultimately it is up to you to decide whether to trust a random game you downloaded from the internet, but at least make sure you downloaded it from this page and not some sketchy site!
