Hello everyone! New member here! I've run into a problem with publishing my game.

I was super pumped because I finally got my first game published on itch(.)io – it felt so good to actually put something out there. But then, a bunch of players started saying it might be malware! Apparently, itch(.)io even quarantined my game (As an IT student, I gotta say, the idea of accidentally making malware is both hilarious and terrifying. I'm still pretty new to a lot of this, but I'm definitely not trying to break anyone's computer! 😭)

So, I downloaded my own game's zip file and ran a scan, and it came back with Jiangmin: Trojan(.)Metla(.)gd. I did some quick research, and it looks like this is a pretty common false positive. Basically, the antivirus got a bit overzealous.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or can anyone offer some guidance on how to deal with it? Thanks in advance for any help!
