I'll look around and see if I get the same popup from some other games. I'll update my comment for now and circle back. 

Looking around online it's probably a false flag

From my understanding it will add porn adverts to the PC. It starts itself on system boot. 

"The tool creates an autorun entry for itself to run on system startup. When it is run, it creates porn pop ups, which cannot be closed with simple techniques. In addition, the taskmanager and registry editor are disabled. The file needs .NET to run."

It's not the end of the world, but I 100% don't want it on my machine. I've played and unwrapped dozens of Ren'Py games that didn't run into this issue. Maybe a Window's update is flagging them now? Python is a pretty easy langue to sneak in malicious stuff out on the open source side of things. Which Ren'py could be hit with as easily as anyone else.

What version of Ren'py are you using? I am seeing post around Windows make a false alarm on RenPy games which was build on 8.2.3 version. There are also some older hits on 7.x.x versions on reddit.

Update: Looks like it's probably a false flag, doing some more research now.


Original comment:

Hey, downloaded the free Windows version and got a warning about a trojen known as PUA:Win32/PornTool in the files. Quarantined and deleted the whole game to be safe.

I'm assuming the dev didn't add it based on the socials and animation work I've seen. Probably it came from some open source or a dependency thing they are using. Get that checked out pronto and removed in an emergency patch ASAP


Once I hear from the dev that it's been fixed I'll edit or remove this comment. Sorry to be the barer of bad news on your first comment here.

It's a type of processor. Some macs  like M1 or M2 chips. Arm processors need different builds for some applications as they work differently. Look up your computer's specs to figure out what you need.
You've probably heard of Intel before. Arm is a competitor to intel.
Hope that helps
