Windows Defender Warning after First Start of

General
1

Hello!

I am just trying to learn Godot and feel pretty excited about it so far. Unfortunately, Windows Defender gave me a warning after my first start of Godot_v4.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe. I ignored it but now I worry whether my computer has been infected (I have not saved a screenshot of the warning).

Did someone else experience this behaviour? Can anyboday provide me with a file-hash of the correct (uncompromised) Godot_v4.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe?

Thanks in advance!

See this: Windows Defender warning on 4.5 STABLE release · Issue #110612 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

Unless you got the executable from somewhere other than the official site, you don’t have anything to worry about.

Thanks for the answer! Could nevertheless someone provide the file-hash? Just for me to be sure…

You can download it from GitHub if you want to be sure. You can also find the hash for each release there (as hashes should ideally be provided by the same people that provide the file).

This is the sha512 of Godot_v4.5.1-stable_mono_win64.exe:

549e782967be7c59c32717d2da3c1a719be2ec465c381d3b105e2914a3634f43f25b4208ba750b1a1ffb0e1b8a9a09cc2a19958b0b0312b0ebba18bb0d6c1729

Do note that on Github, the sha256 you see next to each release is the archive hash, not the executable one.
