it might be fair to have a warning for .exe's but it makes it out like unknown exe files are always going to be extremely dangerous

i mean, it's basically like, "we don't know what this is, so make sure you nuke everything" lol

look, the fact im using this is irellivent,
as is what you are using.

fact be it, their are others who use this as well, as well as those tools that are much much worse,
newbies,
paranoid people,
ect.

im offering info to keep this from scaring them away from any games people make.
you see?

I think you misunderstand;

I'm not criticizing your choice of using this program, run whatever you want, it's your machine after all. (or, if it's not, it's certainly not my machine)

i'm talking about the design choice of programs like these operating like this; if you don't want to discuss it, that's fine, don't

sorry, i kinda lost my cool their.
just been...things... i didnt mean to bite your head off.

your right, the whole setup is flawed.
and really, ive had no problems with things downloaded scanned with avast before they did this.
fact be it, im looking at dissabling this function.

It's a s***ty "feature" many antivirus programs have and it's called heuristics. Heuristics scans basically flag files as viruses if they see them as suspicious (by their standards) in any way.

In this case, an EXE file they've never seen is considered suspicious.

EDIT: Oh. Kesha basically explained it already. Oh well.

is that what Heuristics is!?

hell, im dissabling that right now then.

I have AVG as my antivirus, and it just automatically quarantines and destroys those unzipped .exe files. I have to disable my antivirus for the time being if I would like to play unzipped games, which is pretty annoying.

Usually people just take the 4 seconds to zip the game, so most .exe games are, no offense, or extremely bad and newbish games made by someone new, or a demo game.

EDIT: Wtf Mason, a mermaid? Lol.

That's Poison Ivy, who is far from any kind of mermaid. She's a plant lady.

this has proven to be a perfect example of how this is a problem.
