This is the antivirus throwing a false alarm. There is not much you can do I’m afraid. Antivirus programs try to be very strict. It’s better to label a safe program as dangerous (and let the user decide), than not label a dangerous program as such and let it run on the machine.

There are a few options, like signing your program for windows, but that costs money. If interested you can probably search online for more information.

Switching your antivirus might also be an option, if you’re comfortable with that.

Everyone will need to switch their antivirus, in that case, which is extremely impractical.

Sorry for the late reply, but you sound like you have something to share, Bohaska. Could you elaborate?

What I meant is that if everyone gets virus alert through a certain antivirus, the only options are a. everyone switches antivirus and b. you sign your game or something so that antivirus doesn't flag it.

Got it.
