About anti-virus detections #137

Sometimes, BluescreenSimulator will be flagged as malware by several anti-virus programs (Avast, AVG, Norton, McAfee, Windows Defender, etc.), this however is a false positive. 2 things cause this to happen: a) Because the program executable isn't signed b) Some antiviruses detect this as a joke program (which it is)

The program is safe. If you feel more comfortable compiling it yourself, go ahead.

For a tutorial on how to exclude this program from your antivirus so it can run anyway, check out these links:
