False positive report

Some antivirus programs flag the MSCO launcher. This page explains why, and shows the scans. Report date: 30 July 2024.

P411Why it gets flagged

To keep things simple for players, MSCO has its own .NET launcher, installed with an InnoSetup installer from the download page. The launcher keeps the mod up to date and shows news from the site.

Because it downloads and installs MSCO files by itself, a few antivirus programs flag it as a trojan. A code signing certificate would stop that, but we can't afford one right now.
