    Well I tried to download the client yet my anti virus and google chrome said that the Mapleroyals.exe was malicious and let me download it. Is it really malicious?

    I had this issue too with Windows Security Essentials saying it was a Trojan. I downloaded the Zip file instead and about to see how that goes.

    Edit: It still says that it's a threat. I'm going to ignore the warning for now and hope for the best. D:

    I monitored the program in two full runs and found nothing malicious.
    (Don't take this as 100% safe, just because I found nothing malicious during normal runtime, doesn't mean it doesn't contain a RAT)

    As far as I know, it seems to be a false positive.

    It does however contain what seems to be a bug. It looks at your currently set directories for appdata, cache and other explorer directories and right after force changes them to the default. (%user%)
    (If it were to change it in the first place it wouldn't check what the previous directories were. This may or may not be the false positive that is being detected.)

    I have microsoft security essentials and it did the same thing to me, but its not malicious. I have windows 8 and the first few times i ever even tried to open the game it stopped me telling me it was malicious and windows has stopped me from opening it, my boyfriend tried to do everything to stop this from comming up but in the end he couldent figure it out. All i had to do was ignore the warning and click to open it anyways.:p
