Re: virus issue
Hi, does the issue persist? We've recently updated the version of lwjgl which caused a false positive with Windows Defender. I confirmed that the dll is the original one from here: https://www.lwjgl.org/browse/release/3.3.4/windows/x86 (it's a popular framework for java) and escalated the issue to Microsoft. I did not receive a response from them, yet, but it seems they whitelisted the dll by now.
This can also be seen by these anti virus test results: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4d8 ... ba1f8ae3f2
Since it's a relatively new version false positives are not that unexpected.

Re: virus issue
Sometimes false positives can happen with antivirus software, especially with new updates.
