Windows Defender flagged the .7z file as a false positive (Patreon)

Hello there!

Sometimes, Windows Defender may flag .7z files as false positives. This happens because .7z files use advanced techniques to compress data efficiently.

For example, if I share Messi's face in both ID-FREE and patch versions, the .7z archive stores only one copy of the identical texture files (since the file size, date, etc., are the same) but lists them in multiple locations within the archive.

To ensure safety, I recommend using programs like Malwarebytes or HitmanPro for scanning, as they are often more reliable in such cases.

You can find more information online or in forums like the Microsoft Community, where users discuss similar situations. For example, click here

For future releases, I’ll consider avoiding the use of .7z files to prevent such misunderstandings.
