Some antiviruses can damage the game. #101

Hello faitbeam, I was reading your code and I don't see any malware, however a person in my community had a problem: he was able to install the Widescreen patch and it worked but then his Avast antivirus detected it as dangerous and the game was deleted with its UserData included .

Then I analyzed the Widescreen patcher 3.9.0 executable in VirusTotal and indeed some antivirus engines detected it as dangerous and could damage the game.

I hope this information is useful to you, as well as the VirusTotal tool to diagnose problems.

Maybe it's a good idea to add warnings in the readme.

The problem was solved by adding the file to the antivirus exclusion list, but it will depend on each antivirus. Captura de pantalla 2024-06-27 211445
