my computer has flagged and removed this game as a trojan when i tried to boot it up today. i wont feel comfortable redownloading the game until this is fixed or explained, a couple other people have brought this up too without any dev response.

edit: while investigating we found these are likely false positives (maybe only in the 64 version) but they are pretty alarming false positives that several people are experiencing.

same thing happened for me too

A mod just confirmed that it's *definitely* a false positive, since clangen isn't verified officially it apparently is a pretty common thing. They encourage people who are still worried to view the code and see for themselves.

there should probably be a clear disclaimer somewhere since a false positive for something so severe is a bit scary to see.

Oh I'm just relaying info, I'm not a mod or anything. A mod just said on the discord server that it wasn't real.

Hello! I'm the mod being referenced in many of the comments.  I can assure you that there is no trojan virus in the code.  This is a problem that has been reported before and ClanGen is also frequently flagged and deleted by most AntiVirus programs.  The FAQ above does mention this.   Keep in mind that the code is completely open source and free to view at any time by anyone, so anyone who is worried can view the code for themselves to check for anything malicious.  Additionally, we have many coders who contribute to the game and review any code that is going to be added, especially when it's code from someone new, so it's unlikely that any viruses would ever end up in the code.
