Virus warning

[Unix0815]

I'm on Windows 10 with love version 11.4
Every time I try to build, Windows Defender pops up because it found "Worm:Win32/AutoRun!pz" in a temporary file "RCX89D2.tmp" in the "AppData\Local\makelove\love-binaries\11.4" folder.

The tmp file is randomly generated during build and gets deleted and blocked by Windows defender instantly.

I've just started getting this as well. Allowing it in defender and retrying seems to be ok as a workaround.

I'm not sure there's anything we can do to actually solve this though.

But how can you be sure that it's really a false positive?

because the "threat" is quite literally the love zip you would download normally:
