Antivirus Exclusions

[hi_im_rune]

So I had recently tried updating the wLauncher, and it kept giving me a virus warning. I was able to bypass it and download the file, but everytime I try to open the file, I get a wacatac Trojan warning on my windows defender and the app doesn't even open. I can open previous versions just fine. Did the app break and I'm actually downloading malware?

You need to add Launcher folder to the antivirus exclusions list. This is standard practice when using this type of software. All important files are obfuscated and virtualized to prevent various types of reversing and dumping of the DLL/EXE, which is why the antivirus cannot read the contents of these files.
