The Powder Toy

eloas3

Now I know some people may say " you are an idiot I used powder toy since 2009 and i had no trojan >;O "

No no no, it's a problem I have, every time I run Powder Toy I get a pop up from ByteFence anti malware.

Proof: https://prnt.sc/jqs7at (Alto means High in spanish, Riesgo means Risk in spanish also)

please help

By the way if powder toy did not exist in 2009, i don't know.

It's just the antivirus giving false alerts.Don't worry tpt doesn't contain any virus.

Just ignore the issue. If it really is bothering you, run an online scan.
Also, I recommend using more reputable software. Although ByteFence might be legitimate, it's not the best of the antimalware programs out there. I recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, but I shouldn't advertise other software on here.

In addition to what has been said already, anti-malware software (of all forms) is not 100% accurate. False positives are known to happen with them from time to time, and using such software involves judgement calls. Do not rely solely on your AV software. It is a tool to assist you in deciding if files are safe or not, not to tell you for certain.

TPT is open-source. It does not contain any malicious code, and never will (at least not the official builds...). As long as you're getting it from an official source, you'll be fine.

that means your anti virus program is trash+fake

@kobalt No it does not. It may be trash,but it calling TPT a trojan has happened before, and doesn't mean it's fake.
Literally look back a few releases ago where a mistake by the devs made all antimalware software label it as malicious.

Yeah, now the bitcoin miner is only downloaded after launching TPT, to hide it from the antiviruses

TPT has no virus in it and never has. You could try redownloading it just in case though
