RetroLemmini 4.0 flagged in malware scanners

[lemmingsforumdude]

Hi,

i recently downloaded "RetroLemmini 4.0.zip" from the shortlink in this thread: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7030.0 and it was flagged immediatly on my computer for malware.
I did then try to download from github directly: https://github.com/Willicious/RetroLemmini
Also here the file was flagged.
I checked the hashsum in virustotal:
see here:
19/62 security vendors flagged this file as malicious

This is my first encounter with retrolemmini and I was looking forward to playing... this is rather disappointing..

This is my first encounter with retrolemmini and I was looking forward to playing... this is rather disappointing..

this is also happening to me when im gonna re-download retrolemmini many times   (despise me already using neolemmix but yeah...)

in fact... WillLem has to do something about this...

[WillLem]

Hm. Not sure why this is happening. I'll look into it and get it fixed ASAP.

[WillLem]

OK. Most likely cause is RetroLemmini.exe. This is an unsigned .exe wrapper which launches the .jar via a custom runtime. My own system actually flags it as malware also, so... I'll rebuild it using jpackage (slightly more heavyweight than the method I used previously, but more standard for Java apps) and make sure it doesn't get flagged. Then, I'll re-upload RetroLemmini 4.0 with the fixed .exe.

[WillLem]

OK, this should be fixed now. Since the .exe is unsigned, it may still cause the odd false positive, but it should be nothing like the list shown previously.

Go ahead and download RetroLemmini 4.0 again and let me know the outcome either way.
