False positive of antiviruses for DS4 Emulator
r57zone opened this issue · comments
DS4 Emulator can be falsely recognized by antiviruses as something malicious. Send the archives with DS4 Emulator and a link to the repository to your antivirus company, maybe they will fix it.
Possible reasons for a false alarm may be the addition of a cursor hiding function, or the dynamic loading of the library xinput1_3.dll .
I sent the archives to several antivirus companies, but not all responded (for example, such as microsoft).
If you are having problems starting, you can try the Static version (with static library loading xinput1_3.dll however, the Guide/Xbox button will not emulate the PS button) or add the program to the antivirus exceptions.

Newer versions don't have this problem, so I'm closing it. Garbage antiviruses can be ignored.
