hey Moose my extract of the game was stopped due a virus threat by mcafee what was it exactly?
Not sure, the game - if downloaded from Itch - is just using the RenPy engine, which uses the language Python. There's no malware here.
Did it tell you the nature of the virus threat? Some idiots have been uploading a pirated version of Dairy Tale to some sharing sites that does have malware - or at least something in it. The file they uploaded doesn't match what I distribute. So... If you got it 3rd party, it's probably bad. Don't pirate indie games. ;)
In general, Microsoft Defender is really good in the last 5+ years - I recommend that over McAfee. If it's a legit download, your McAfee is probably throwing a false positive.
Just skimming past this conversation to say "Fuck McAfee". Most AV programs these days are already redundant with how good Windows Defender is compared to how it used to be, but McAfee in particular is awful, much like a lot of the other old, big-name AV programs.
I don't trust a single thing that comes out of McAfee's dirty old mouth, it barely works to protect against viruses and spits out a lot of false positives, there's a reason most AV programs these days offer a billion other services to go alongside the AV part, they know their time is up and they're diversifying so they don't collapse.
Defender + an adblocker + common sense; that's all anyone needs in 202X.
EDIT: Man, McAfee has been a joke for so long that we made fun of it about 10 years ago when I was a computer technician.
