I opened the itch app and as Soulash was in the process of auto-updating it was flagged by Windows Defender as containing Trojan:Win32/Emelent.B!cl , did anyone else receive this?

Hey Yehezkhel. Similar situation happened before with another warning that turned out to be false positive: https://itch.io/t/491547/looks-great-but-apparently-the-demo-contains-a-virustrojan

Is it the demo or alpha? Any specific file gives the warning? Please let me know which version of threat definitions do you have. It's late for me, so I'll check tomorrow and send the file to Microsoft for verification.

Good evening, thank you for the reply.  My Windows security intelligence version is 1.297.616.0, the file affected was Soulash.exe, I suspect from the alpha although cannot be sure I had previously downloaded the demo and since have deleted the download in process and file.   Thanks again for your consideration.

I just downloaded the latest 0.2.4.1 through itch app, scanned with windows defender and threw the exe at virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6043df98ff0e23823c402ae05f661bc9d48b0624d64504bb0177b3abed81e68d/detection

(Un)Fortunately I got nothing. Could you try to upload the exe to virustotal.com and show me the report?
