Just wanted to post one more update to this situation. It has been bothering me that this file was corrupted, and yet scan after scan of my computer shows nothing. (I scanned with Webroot, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes).  After lots of searching on the topic, I discovered today that because I am programming in visual studio and the file is not signed, it will read as malware/virus. It is not. The file is actually clean. With many of these virus/malware scanners, if the file is not signed, it is automatically considered suspicious malware and sometimes labeled a Trojan.

Them I'm very sorry for everything. I just wanted to make clear that noone gets a Virus just because they wanted to download a Game from this Game Jam. Luckily there are only 2 Days left so you can upload again after the rating time passed. Still I'm sorry for all the trouble caused. But if it would haven been a virus I definitely didn't want it to stay longer then needed as a downloadable file. So just clear the error with the unsigned file so it doesn't show up as a virus and you'll be easily able to upload it without any further trouble.

I am not upset with you on this. I am actually glad you took action. If it was a virus, I would have felt terrible for spreading it. It also turned this into a learning experience for me. I now have to figure out how to sign my work. I hope it is as simple as clicking a button, but I very highly doubt it will be. I also hope that others that are programming without a game engine will see this and learn from it as well. Getting booted from the game jam was disappointing, but I completely understand. Overall, the jam and learning more about the technology industry, a great experience.
