When I tried to run the game my Antivirus moved a file to quarantine. I am unable to delete the folder. I wanted to ask if this was a false positive. Whether it is or not, I'm going to need to delete the folder.

Edit: It took me 20 minutes, but I managed to finally trick my computer into letting me delete the folder by changing its name. (This worked somehow, but enabling permission for Everyone didn't)

I still need to hear what you have to say about what happened here though.

Yes, there are still occasional reports of false positives from antivirus software. Some antivirus software is overly eager to flag any executable that isn't already being used by numerous users.

You could try to add an exception for the game's executable in your antivirus software, or disable the antivirus software before running cosmobreeder.

As for the folder being difficult to delete, that could be due to the AV's quarantine procedure or the way that it terminated the executable causing windows to believe that the folder was still in use.

Doesnt Antivirus have a "Exclude" feature?
