Hi there! Posted my game SpaMail just in time for the jam, exciting days!

Unfortunately, my game is detected by Windows 10 as a virus and will ask you for permisions on execution.

Worry not, maybe it has the word SPAM all over it, but it's not a virus.

Anybody had the same problem?? Thanks!

Also thanks to @ThisIsOficial who made me aware of this problem.

Here's what Karspersky thinks about the file:

Yeah I think it's the word SPAM that is triggering Anti-virus.  I've just been clicking "run anyway"

Thanks, if that's ok and helps other people playing, I've uploaded an HTML version of the game, this will mitigate the virus problem.
