After a bit of research, it often appears in modded games so this doesn't look like a threat. It is often notified by Windows Defender, but other protection softwares don't classify it as a threat.

Avira found a TR/Dropper.Gen in the (...)32.exe. Like in so many (...)32.exes since January. I quarantine them, never used the 32.exes anyway and the regular exe works just fine. Port sniffer detects no unusual activity.

From Bitdefender...
The file E:\...\My_Best_Deal-32.exe is infected with Trojan.GenericKD.36388843 and was moved to quarantine.
No reason to trust it so I'll wait for the next version or a clean version that doesn't trip alerts.

Windows called it Trojan:Win32/Woreflint.A!cl said it had blocked it but the game ran anyway. No response from the dev on discord yet. Meanwhile Malwarebytes says it's clean

Hi everyone, this is my very first post. I really enjoy this game and always look for it in the recent update page of this forum. But since many of the renpy game creators have recently gone to the updated renpy creator software none of those updated games can be played on my windows laptop. I discovered a work around for some of the games by downloading the android version and running the game on the Bluestacks emulator. But unfortunately some games like this awesome one does not have an android version. Is there any advice from some of you techy smart posters here that could provide me with a work around to continue playing this great game? Or maybe a free IOS emulator you can recommend to me? I would hate to delete and remove this game all together considering it was one of my favorites to play. I hope this is not a repetitive question that is being asked and I apologize if it is. It isn't my intentions to make anyone angry for asking this. Thank you for any response.

Hi guys! A lot of you have experienced a problem with My_Best_Deal-32.exe, there's been many messages claiming that it has virus in it. I think the root of this problem is the 7.4.0 update of renpy, people say it's a residual phenomenon of games written on renpy, and it looks like many devs have faced this problem once again. Either way, I'll try to fix this problem. I'll probably have to get rid of 32bit version of the game until most of antivirus softwares add this file to their database as false threat.

Got the same on the non-compressed. I think it's a false positive but just to be safe I managed to launch the game by making a bat file and putting
Code:
start lib\windows-x86_64\pythonw.exe My_Best_Deal.py
inside it.

Included in attachment for convenience, will launch the 64 bit python version, change it if you're running win 32 bits/linux.

Hello Pirot King. First, I just want to say that this game of yours is pretty good. I really do enjoy the way you are putting it together story wise. Keep up the great job. I been doing some reading on this Renpy update issue. It appears that the new Renpy game creator software may need higher end graphics card to run it on windows. Perhaps it's something in the coding within the software, or something, I'm merely speculating from what I am hearing from other threads with multiple game creators using Renpy. It's a shame to be honest because on other operating system platforms the Renpy games are running fine without issue. Milky Touch for instance is another game I download and it recently had the same issue that your game had with the recent Renpy software update. It was unplayable with both 64 bit and 32 bit exe files not executing at all when clicking on them. So I decided to try an experiment downloading bluestacks which is an android emulator that allows you to play android games on a Windows PC. I loaded bluestacks on my laptop, which wasn't able to run the recent updated Renpy 64 and 32 exe. Then I downloaded the android version of the Milky Touch update game and it totally worked on my computer without any issue at all. I have no doubt that if you ran the previous version of the renpy game creator software before the update that your game would work without any issue at all for those who are currently having the issue of starting the new version of My Best Deal. Or if you create a version of it on android it would work too. Only windows versions appear to be affected by this issue. And only those versions not running the latest high end graphics gaming card. I unfortunately had to delete the game from my system because it doesn't work anymore on my laptop. If you had an android version I could at least continue enjoying this awesome game you have created. But unless you go back to the older version of Renpy before this current update of your game, or create an android version, I and a few fans of yours will not be able to play the game anymore. I hope this information helps some. Wish you continued success on your amazing game, unfortunately I will not be able to see it through to completion because of this issue.

Hi there, I tested your .bat file on my laptop and still was unable to run the 64 bit exe file on my system. The game still did not launch at all. It appears like it's about to launch and for a second the game pops but then disappears again. Thank you though for trying to give us a hot fix.

People would rather believe a false positive, I'm afraid. You could download RenPy and Python source code, compile them yourself on an air-gapped machine with a clean Windows installation and it will still say the 32 bit version has a virus.

The silly part being that the 64 bit version is perfectly fine. Which is ridiculous, what would be the point of infecting only the 32 bit version with a virus? That probably not affect 98% of people who download the game and play the 64 bit version?

That's a good point. I hadn't considered that.

But still reaching out to anyone in the community to proofread is easy enough.
In many cases, the so called proof reader is not proof reading, they must edit the content to make the game play smooth and in some cases substitute actions, to increase viewer satisfaction, that is what I do for some. A native speaker that understands other languages and cultures is the cat's meow for content creator success.
