Hi, thanks for the comment again, you've been really helpful and I really appreciate it.
I've done a bunch of research and like you said it seems its a reasonably known issues that can happen with UE5 games. Either way I've done a full pc scan with both MalwareBytes and Bitdefender as well as individual scans for all the files uploaded to itch and nothing has been flagged at all.
Overall I'm confident that it was a false positive so will be re allowing the downloads now.
Thanks again for the taking the time to help, always better safe than sorry with these things, and thanks as well for the kind words on the game jam page too.
