Why is it detected as malware?

Some antivirus programs or Windows SmartScreen may flag DepotBox Launcher due to a few key reasons. We believe in full transparency, so here’s a clear explanation:

  • Lack of a Code Signing Certificate: To avoid these security warnings, applications need a digital certificate to verify their publisher. These certificates can cost up to €500 per year. Since DepotBox Launcher is a free, passion-driven project, we currently cannot afford this expense.
  • Administrator Privileges: The launcher requires administrator rights for a core function: it downloads bypasses from our servers and extracts them directly into your game's installation folder (e.g., within your Steam directory). This action, modifying files in a protected system area like 'Program Files', is often seen as suspicious behavior by antivirus software, which might defensively say, "Wait, this isn't normal."
  • Built with Electron & Open Source: The good news is that the launcher is built on Electron. This makes it very easy to decompile and view the entire source code. We encourage you to do so! This transparency ensures you can verify for yourself that the application is completely safe and only performs the actions described.

In short: The alerts are false positives triggered by the launcher's necessary functions and the high cost of official certification. Your security is paramount, and our code is open to scrutiny to prove it.
