Windows 10 Virus alert:

Program:Win32/Ymacco.AAAB

Something we should be worried about?

Hello,

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, antivirus false positives have been an issue for this project from the beginning; in order to inject itself into the original game, JkGfxMod uses a library from Microsoft called Detours, which is also sometimes used by malware authors for similar purposes.

The JkGfxMod build used only source code from this repository and ran on Microsoft-controlled servers, which you can audit here:

Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about this problem. I recommend submitting inject.exe as a false positive to your antivirus vendor.

If possible, you may also consider using OpenJKDF2, which is a complete engine replacement that also implements JkGfxMod features.
