Anyone else having issues with windows blocking the download? Windows believes it's a trojan

Hello, I would like to ask, after I use this program to repair the VAR package, this error will be prompted when switching scenes, and the scene is not successfully switched at this time

You need to close vam first then repair vars, don't use vam and repair vars at the same time.

You're not the only one, it's my antivirus that blocks it, when I download it on mega, it goes through, but my antivirus tells me it's an IDP.Generic and puts it in quarantine.
Boss963, is your program really safe? I want to be sure it's a false positive.

Ya, I included the ability to overwrite vars (remove old -> write new one) which is similar to how ransomware malware works so defender flags it for that reason, anyway it's completely open source you can download the source code and compile it in visual studio.

It's done, I did as you said, downloaded visual studio and compiled open source. It works fine now.

Just be aware if you share the one you compiled with someone else, defender might flag it on his PC and not yours, that's well known issue.

This is the third version of Chinese Vars Fixing Tool, which I initially created to fix Chinese vars not working for western VaM users. It uses library to extract Chinese vars using encoding "GB2312", then it packs the vars again using UTF-8 encoding.

Third version comes with many additional options:
- You can now drop entire folders or creator's folder, it will loop through each var and fix it.
- You can now overwrite vars (original vars will be deleted and fixed ones will replace them).
- You can now remove clothes / hair / RG Morphs / hands grasp / Ashly morphs or even use custom deletion.
- If a var is corrupted or having header issues, it will continue extraction and create a new one with no issues.
How to:

How do you even know which VARs are Chinese?
I've noticed weird things with missing assets that i know i had etc, but i don't even know where to start.
it would be nice if i could scan my AddonPackages folder and autumatically IDENTIFY the offending packages.

THANK YOU

was able to find the offending VAR (it was only 1)
I really like the idea of removing the bloat from the vars, i have a request/suggestion.

I'm sure that some VARs have assets that aren't available on the HUB so:
Do you think it would be possible to add an options to OLNY delete morphs/plugins/clothes/hair when a duplicate exists?
This would obviously only work if you were scanning a folder and not a single file.

maybe like this:

The logic behind such an option is not as easy as it sound but I am adding it to my todo, sooner or later someone has to develop a tool to reverse bloated vars automatically, fix references and meta.json.

Me too, I don't know how to use visual studio, I watched youtube videos and one showed me how to do it.

Thank you so much Boss!
But after I removed the duplicate hair and clothes in var, I opened the scene in vam without loading the other author's hair and clothes.
I think I just deleted the duplicate files in var, but the other authors' resources that I kept were not referenced in the scene.
