Hey, I just wanted to let people know that when I was checking the download for malware and the likes on virustotal, I got the warning Trogan.Malware.300983.susgen from a company called Maxsecure which most people consider to be shady, I got this warning when I checked the game application itself, but when i checked all the other files I got no other warnings so it may just be a false positive, but I wanted to let the dev know so they could maybe look into it and to let the community know about this before downloading anything.

It's a false positive :) Generally speaking, anytime you get a single ping it's a false positive.
Also, pretty much all anti-virus suites are worse than useless (they provide single points of entry to black hats and create a lot of bloat) but Virustotal is ranked pretty low even by those standards (B or C tier). I'd strongly advise just keeping your Windows Defender updated and downloading Malwarebytes once a month for a general sweep.
Finally, just to put your mind at ease (and anyone else who reads this), here's a Reddit post (one among many, but do your own research!) that talks about this exact detection:

One of the commenters also remarks on the validity of "Maxsecure". Could be true or could be false, but from a brief sweep of the internet it seems like you should be more afraid of them than anything else :P
Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention, but yes: false positive. And please, please, please everyone - delete these garbage anti-virus suites. You're making hackers' lives so much easier.
its all good, I just wanted to you and others be aware of it, i ran the test on virus total and yeah i was thinking it might of been a false positive and the security vendor maxsecure does look shady, though i do admit i dont understand why people felt the need to downvote the comment when i was just trying to let people know about something i found that should atleast be considered when downloading.
