Hello Wolves0751! I am pretty sure its probably a fake virus, because from my experience its safe. Sometimes I download things like that, and it says it has malware but its usally fake and nothing bad happens to my computer. Hopefully you can get in the game soon!

The installer does not contain a virus, despite your pc detecting it as one.
All of us have downloaded and installed the game previously.
If there was a virus within the files, the download would not still be there.

Good luck. c:

Hello! It seems people have already answered, but I would like to put in my two cents since I had the same issue! Back when I got my laptop and new security software, it told me I couldn't download FH due to a possible virus. I think this has to do because of the fact FH is not an "official" website and the download comes from a url that isn't well known like mediafire or dropbox, etc. It is, however, completely confirmed that FH should not have a virus within its download, and if for some reason it does, Razmirz would have to be contacted immediately.
I highly doubt that could happen though! Temporarily turn off security and download the game, then pop it back on once it's all set and ready to go! ♡

I always use Chrome to download and download the game off of Mediafire. IT did the same to me, but on Chrome you can get the choice to actually keep the file and download it anyway.

With Malwarebytes; and two adblockers on chrome. If that's Edge, it's known for blocking random large files as viruses.

install an ad-blocker on your web browser temporarily to see if that fixes it.

might just be a pop-up.
