My sub on bitdefender is about to end and i need a replacement, while i have been really happy with it's defense the past year and a half there is 1 little thing that it always do what annoys the shit out of me. It flags all the ren' py games. When i load them up. Yes it's that annoying.

PS. Do not recommend me MacAffee or Panda, hate those, with all my heart

I've had pretty good experiences with Eset/NOD32 ( ). Those experiences date from a few years back though, don't know if they're still good and lightweight.

After contacting ren'py and bitdefender I've understood what the problem is, but not sure if there will be a solution.

Advanced Threat Defense identifies anomalies on the device and correlates different suspicious behaviors to significantly improve detection with less impact on performance than ever.

Each action is scored, and every process receives an overall score. If the overall score for a process reaches a certain point, the process is marked as harmful and will be blocked automatically.
Will let you know when I have more info, but I think the guy that I'm talking with is not all that interested in fixing this

Using a mac to avoid 96% of all software ever made, will certainly reduce your risk of getting a virus.
