don’t take this the wrong way, but you could have added information in your original comment that would have saved time.

  • Virus scanner that reported the positive
  • Any effort you made to see if it was a false positive (scanning with Defender or another product, sending it to McAfee for verification, etc.)

Checking with VirusTotal, and McAfee does not flag this as suspicious.

However, this game was made in ClickTeam Fusion, and ClickTeam does trigger false positives. For example, this thread about Mr TomatoS.

It could also be with how I compressed it way back when I uploaded it Preventing False Positives, ClickFusion Academy.

For the antivirus vendors that did flag this, it seemed to indicate concern about modifying a desktop.ini. This file controls seeing a folder in a list, thumbnails, icons, etc, but also can be used to have a custom icon for an application. Depending on how ClickTeam compiles the game, it’s possible it’s using desktop.ini for the game’s icon.

I’ll upload the game’s actual exe without the setup to make things easier in the future.
