Why was the YYC build version cought by my antivirus program?

Does your antivirus delete the exe or do you just get the typical "Windows has defended you" window? If it's the latter, then you can just skip it. Otherwise I don't know why would that happen. My game isn't a virus for sure 😅

no, my antivirus just stopped the download and threw a message about "a dangerous program" or something like that. I don't know whether the problem is in my antivirus or in the actual game folder, but still, it cought me off guard

I think this happens only because the exe is not signed with a certificate. Some antivirus may not like that. Which one do you use? 

Avast

I use avast antivirus

Avag

Yeah, avast is known for being horrible & causing all sorts of issues! Even fake virus alerts, etc, to get you to buy premium. It also restarts your internet connection every once in a while.
