Announcement: Addressing Virus Flag Issues with Opera GX Users

Hello Everyone!

We have been informed that GDD Maker is being flagged as a potential virus. After some research, specifically "Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen" by the antivirus engine "MaxSecure". We want to take this opportunity to clarify the situation and assure our users that this is a false positive.

What is Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen?

According to security reports (see this article), this detection is often a heuristic warning, meaning that the antivirus is flagging the file because it doesn't recognize the program and is erring on the side of caution. Heuristic detections are designed to catch new and unknown malware, but they sometimes flag perfectly safe programs, especially new or unsigned apps.

Why is GDD Maker Being Flagged?

There are a few reasons why GDD Maker may be flagged:

New or unsigned application: Many antivirus engines tend to flag new software if it's not widely known or signed with a certificate.

Heuristic-based detection: MaxSecure is known to generate false positives with heuristic scans, which might mistakenly identify our application as a potential threat.
