I ran the inscryption32.exe through VirusTotal and it has 33/67 detections. and major vendors like BitDefender, Microsoft, and Symantec identify this as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac and Spyware Babar. It has "Spreader" and "Stealer" behaviors.

haha 67

First of all, I have said countless times that those are false positives, but I suppose people posting this over and over can't fucking read.

Second of all, only 4 or 5 out of those 33 vendors are actually trustworthy, and even their detections are all over the place. Additionally, those are not "behaviours", they are results of STATIC analysis, e.g. antivirus just looking at the file, not actually running it. And of course they would hallucinate shit, because the game is highly compressed, consisting of a big blob of random looking bytes and small piece of code to decompress it all, to fit on the floppy. If you take a look at the actual "Behaviour" tab of VirusTotal, you won't see anything malicious there. Especially since all the HTTP connections and most file/registry accesses are made by the bloatware inside of Windows itself, not the game. The game only does what any game built with similar stack would.

Third of all, if you don't trust the game, just don't play it at all, or play it in a VM/emulator, instead of writing those comments and wasting yours and mine time.

Don't worry, it's not malware. Source - me, a random idiot on the internet :)
