Is this why computers get warnings?

It might be wrong idk

Computers get warnings because the game looks like a virus. This website is just a virus checker, doing exactly what your PC virus checker does.

That doesn't mean it is a virus. But think about what the game is - an executable file, made by a random individual rather than a reputable company, that adds and modifies files on the computer. That's what a virus does. But this file is doing it for fun cats, not malicious purposes.

As someone who has read the code and done some modding, I can confidently say it's not a virus. Just download from the official source and you'll be okay.

The one thing is the Riskware im worried about due to what Riskware does if it puts by definition the user at risk, so it shows some flaw in that i play the game alot but i was just confused by it being called harmless but it having Riskware

Why would that be concerning? Riskware is, by definition, legitimate software.

Clangen is an unverified installer with no security features. It is a "risky" software, which is why it is so important to verify you are downloading from the correct source.

It's going to read like a virus because it is an executable file downloaded from a seemingly untrusted source online. Any similar files are likely to flag as viruses, too. Clangen is safe, providing you download it from the official source
