operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwated software

hopefully a false positive, likely user error, i downloaded the mod yesterday and today i am unable to launch because both steam and windows blocks the application, even after pressing run anyway(unsigned application prompt), windows 11 KB5044285 2024-10

after scanning with windows security i can confirm that its detecting a trojan:Win32/wacatac/h!ml

i was unable to upload this file to virustotal to check for the same reason (PuP/torjan error prompt)

upon launch on steam (steam error):
Failed to start process for this game: "operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software"
bypassing steam (windows error): [same message]

windows seems to think its severe enough that i cant seem to prevent it from being removed by security, making me unable to use the mod, it had worked fine yesterday but today after waking my computer from sleep it refuses to cooperate

you can add an exception but i've already submit it to microsoft for false positive

Happened to me today. Same exact issue. had to make the folder the exception and then made the kh folder in steam an exception and then the exe as an exception.
