you can do what ever you want, it's your pc...
I'm not downloading it.
Previous version of the game didn't raise any flags. If this one does, means the dev added more than just renders/animations/text.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. There is no virus in the zip file! I downloaded it from Pixeldrain and scanned it with both online and offline scanners. The files are completely virus-free! Check it yourself:

I liked the update, the routes were all very self-explanatory and well defined.

We have to say that Sofia starts immediately a little too uncovered.
I don't know what the problem is... I'm also getting the file blocked when I download it using Chrome. But I forced the download, and scanned it using VirusTotal, and got all green:
No lesbian content planned for now. But I have a teaser for you. It's not part of the game, just Vanessa (from Girl In Charge) and Sofia, sharing a kiss...

And here is your answer. MS fucked up...again.
The issue of Windows 10 flagging multiple files, including .exe files, as viruses since the September 9, 2025, cumulative update (KB5065429) is likely tied to Microsoft Defender Antivirus’s updated detection logic and signature definitions. Beyond the WinRing0 driver issue (flagged as "Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A" due to CVE-2020-14979), the update appears to have broadened its threat detection parameters, leading to increased false positives for certain executable files, particularly those from less common or unsigned software, open-source tools, or older applications. Here’s a concise breakdown of why this is happening and how to address it:
Why Multiple Files (e.g., .exe) Are Being Flagged
- Stricter Heuristics: The September 2025 Defender update enhanced behavioral and signature-based detection to catch potential threats, including unsigned or obscure .exe files that resemble malicious patterns.
- Vulnerable Driver and Software Blocklist: Microsoft expanded its VulnerableDriver blocklist and similar protections, flagging not just drivers but also executables with outdated or exploitable code.
- False Positives: Legitimate software, especially niche tools or older programs, may trigger alerts if they use deprecated APIs, lack digital signatures, or match heuristic patterns for malware.
- Patch Tuesday Impact: The KB5065429 update, alongside Defender definition updates around September 4–9, 2025, tightened security, causing some safe .exe files to be misidentified.
- Check Quarantine: Open Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Protection History. Identify flagged .exe files. If from trusted sources, select "Restore."
- Add Exclusions: Navigate to Virus & Threat Protection > Manage Settings > Add or remove exclusions. Add specific .exe files or their folders to prevent future flagging. Be cautious, as exclusions reduce protection.
- Verify File Legitimacy: For unfamiliar .exe files, upload them to VirusTotal.com for multi-engine scanning or Microsoft’s Security Intelligence portal (security.microsoft.com/report) to report false positives.
- Update Software: Check for updates to affected programs. Developers may release patched versions to avoid Defender’s new rules (e.g., Fan Control’s GitHub discussions).
- System Update: Ensure Windows is fully updated via Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update to apply any follow-up fixes that refine detection.
- Secondary Scan: If unsure about a file, use a second-opinion scanner like Malwarebytes to confirm it’s not actual malware.
- No Widespread Malware Outbreak: This issue is primarily due to Defender’s aggressive tuning, not a surge in viruses.
- Persistent Issues: If multiple legitimate .exe files keep getting flagged, consider temporarily disabling Defender’s real-time protection (Settings > Virus & Threat Protection > Manage Settings) while running trusted programs, then re-enable it. Alternatively, report recurring false positives to Microsoft for definition updates.
- Context Matters: If the flagged files are from unknown sources or exhibit suspicious behavior (e.g., unexpected network activity), treat them as potential threats until verified.
I'm also getting the same issue when I download the game. I'm trying to find out if there is anything I can do to solve that. But when I force the download and scan it using VirusTotal, it's not finding any issue...I'm not sure that was the point they were making.
I'll wait a while myself to see if people get issues as that dl is also getting blocked on the browsers I use.
It looks like you're talking about the Oblivious path, where Sofia does not tell Bob about her adventures, she just re-lives/remembers them later, when she's with Bob...
And for now I don't plan to add more translations, since it adds quite a lot of work. But maybe in the future, if I get a good support base, and the request comes up
Cheers!
It looks like it's a false flag, since I'm checking each one of the mirrors using VirusTotal and I'm getting consistent "clean" results.
But you don't need to believe me. One thing you can do is download the game, unzip it, rename the "AccordingToSofia.exe" file to "old_AccordingToSofia.exe" and you can copy the "exe" file from another trusted Renpy game you might have into the same folder, rename it to "AccordingToSofia.exe" and see if it works.
Nah, I'm not into that, so I would not add it to the game
