Hello, I wanted to try the game but got a virus warning. Is there something to it?

No. The game is clean. Only download from this site using the official links.
Downloading 1.10.5.7 at the moment to see if it triggers virus warnings on my system.
....
Downloaded and extracted. No virus warnings tripped.

Your report says that both Crowdstrike Falcon and VirusTotal returned clean while only MetaDefender (who I have never heard about) returned anything dangerous at all. I've been playing this game since 1.9.4 and my system has neither blown up nor been turned into a crypto miner.

It could be that some of the .exe's behaviours tripped the warning due to similarities. This is called a false positive and I can vouch for the safety of HHS+. The false postive warning happened in another game I play because it connects out to check the current version against the database - for versioning purposes only - but the fact that it connected out at all without player consent was concerning.
Turned out to be nothing. I'm certain that HHS+ is also clean.

Thank you for the answer.

I downloaded from the forum here, which is why I assumed it was a false alarm. I just wanted to make sure about it.
