VN I have found a virus

[mr_ok933]

I was trying to download a game called
Bonds of Yachiyo
But when I went to Pixel drain I was told by my computer that there was a virus detected!
From what I've seen Mega has the same problem too.
If any moderators are listening to this I would like you to check this out because the last thing we want is someone getting hacked,
Or a download that a certain computer can't use

in the thread for the game,

Write a post saying what links for which platform you downloaded from that your virus checker popped. State what day/time you downloaded (with your time zone).State the antivirus you use. State the virus(es) your antivirus says for the file. If you use virustotal, then either provide screenshot of the results or state which definitions popped. Submit that post. Then use the report button to report the virus. Select "other" from the options and type "VIRUS" in the text box. Submit the report.

Next time, do as Count Morado said.

As for this time, the issue have been addressed in the thread as being more than surely a false positive. Liek the game is small, I downloaded it and checked, there's only one file for which

return only one warning. It's

but the warning come from CrowdStrike Falcon, famous to have paralyzed all the computers of all their users few months ago... So, yeah, it really looks like a false positive.

Also, if you're unsure or don't want to risk it, look into sandboxing/VM or if you have a spare computer (since those games tend to be very light) play on it with internet off. Most threats as the pinned thread about malware says won't trigger the antivirus.
