VN Suspicious file name

[Michael181]

Hi,
I want to download Grisaia no Meikyuu from uploader by the name Twistty. However in the attachments below there is a file named [VIRUS]. This got me confused, if the uploader is the one who attached the files and wanted to include a virus in one of them, why name it like that? And if the file has a virus and it wasn't created by the uploader why don't just delete it from the attachments. I don't get it at all. Please tell me if I can safely download the game and if the uploader is a trusted user. I've attached a screenshot of the problematic file.

If you ever find what you are think are serious issues with a post, including an OP, you should use the REPORT button and select the appropriate option. That is the appropriate and expected action. Posting in the thread (particularly such a quiet thread) or creating a new thread may not be seen either for a long time or ever.

Thank you for the advice

A lot of those [VIRUS] tags are the result of a false positive report. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Then why not verify it and tag it as a false positive?

These files get tagged by an automated process, verifying it takes time and effort.
And it's hard in general. Like you have an exe that your Anti-Virus says is a virus. You run it and nothing bad *seems* to happen. Was it a virus? Hard to tell

These [VIRUS] things are usually because ONE OUT OF TWENTY SOMETHING might find it as suspicious.
