I'm curious because when attempting to download Brick Planet on Windows the antivirus identifies it as a trojan. Could this be a false positive or is it an actual virus? I've been looking and noticed others have also received this warning, if anyone has an answer it would be much appreciated.

it doesnt have a certificate yet
its a false positive

The trojan it thinks it found is “Wacatac” but if you search it up theres a lot of examples showing its not one.

if you go to any game on the website this message will appear:

“ Installer: The installer is unsigned, so your antivirus may automatically scan it. This should be fixed within the week. “

It is safe, even though a message pops up when you download it saying it may not be safe, it's because the software has not been "signed" yet.

Unless you wait for around a week until they fix the launcher.

IF this problem keeps on happening, then go to your browser settings go to privacy and security, and disable safe downloading feature

Would you be shocked to learn that Isaac didn't in fact make the client?
