Severe trojan virus detected in this trainer, Mr. Anti Fun. What gives? Don't tell people this is a "false positive" because it isn't. In this day and age of crypto-miners and other nefarious software, one cannot be so certain anymore. There are reports in other threads/trainers of trojans. Common man. Not cool at all.
Zpevdo.A
"Zpevdo.a is a Trojan that’s classified as severe and is capable of doing a lot of damage to your system. It plays a role of a Trojan Horse and people that put it on your computer can then use it for a variety of malicious actions. Additional malware infiltrating your PC is one of them and it includes browser redirect programs, as well as adware. They exist to display advertisements inside your browser, generate traffic from them, and bring money to cybercriminals that way and this type of activity is exceptionally detrimental to your system’s performance.
Slowdowns and crashes follow as a result, and having even the most basic of things done gets unnecessarily difficult in such conditions. You also risk becoming a victim of identity theft, as your personal data is collected and sent to third parties, including phone numbers, credit card details, passwords, and IP address. But this is actually a worst-case scenario which is entirely possible to prevent. For that, remove this threat from the computer.."

Zip file + extracted file .
8/69 and 4/62 is a pretty good result for a trainer file .
The antivirus works by scanning for certain code patterns used in malicious files .
The trainer open a game process , Inject data into a game process , Uses redirects , Allocate memory ....etc
This behavior is suspicious for antiviruses so you get these false positives ,Just go about any Trainers website and you will see a notice about false positives .
Let me explain this to you from your own quote .
"it includes browser redirect programs , As well as adware. They exist to display advertisements inside your browser"? ,
So the trainer has 2 links redirect one is for donations and the other for visiting the website , Does these 2 cause an issue for you or your system? , Obviously not , But the antivirus is thinking the trainer has an Adware because of these 2 links , That's something called "a false positive" .
One possible solution for this issue from our side is to submit our trainers to Microsoft to review and that way the false positive can be fixed .
However since i keep updating and releasing new trainers we would have to constantly keep doing that.
"Don't tell people this is a "false positive" because it isn't."
What makes you an expert if i may ask to make this statement ? .
I already submitted this specific file to Microsoft and they fixed the false positive "The current latest trainer as of today".

I been doing this for years now and i'm putting at least 45 minutes extra work into each trainer to reduce as much false positives as possible , Previously it would be 25/60 ~ 35/60~ so having it all the way down to 4-8/60~ isn't that bad for a trainer .
