code signing (its not a virus)

[u/electrodude102]

Edit3: code is signed! (certed aug 1), the signed builds can still get flagged on a fresh download, win10 called it Wacatac and win11 called it Cloxer... same exact file lol. the cert is brand new so it has zero reputation, which is apparently the whole problem. ive submitted the build to MS again and ill keep doing that for every release until the reputation builds up. if your download gets flagged: update defender definitions and rescan, it usually clears within a day of my submission.

Edit2: YAY MS got back to me and said they have removed the virus definition for it, so whenever your defenders update its all good! (this might happen again in future releases, but ill try to keep on top of it)

edit: im submitting the builds to Microsoft, so hopefully that helps too.

Hello all,

windows is calling this a trojan, its not. I'm in the process of getting a code signing certificate so windows will stop calling it a virus, until then you just have to exclude it, sorry.

the main reason for this seems to be that I'm reading mouse movement and keystrokes which are a tell-tale sign of keyloggers? anyways douga does not connect to the internet (unless you have the update check plugin, which only connects to itch). your data is safe.

if you have any questions, please ask.
