saveupdater is a small tool to convert your old save to the new format.
u dont need to run it if u dont trust it. its not needed if u plan to start over.
the problem is that when I compile small projects it seems a couple antivirus are reporting it
the reason could be that I compile in native-code and its harder to scan.
also, the program is "loading/saving" and those API calls could be scanned as dangerous.
theres no cloud based API or that u need internet connection. just quite simple load, read-data, create-data, save. very simple.
of course is false-positive. most of my smaller project gets false positive.
I ran a search on this thread for wacatac which didn't return any results, so even though it's a slightly older version I thought I'd report this to bring attention to the dev.
I had downloaded the v2.5.8b a while back when I bulk downloaded a few games from f95zone, and hadn't gotten around to messing with it until a few days ago. Out of habit, I always run a scan on games from this site, if not immediately after download then right before going to play the game. I'm not too worried because I tend to err on the side of caution and will only download and run these games in their own isolated environment. False positive or not I rolled back my VM without ever unzipping the file.
I don't know enough about malware to claim it is or isn't a false positive, so I'm not accusing of anything and am merely reporting the detection here.
I omitted the pathways but otherwise this is a direct quote from windows defender:
