<p>In October 2018 Wobbler reported that distributing a game, embedding the game icon into game.exe (using rcedit), produced a modified game.exe flagged by many virus scanners:  virustotal reported 14 detections (mainly Gen:Heur.Conjar.9), regardless of the icon embedded.<br>
Last month ago I tested again and the problem had gone away, only SecureAge APEX reporting a problem.<br>
At the time I found that it didn't make any difference <em>which</em> .ico was embedded, and there were no detections if the .ico was compiled in directly instead of embedded with rcedit.</p>
<p>But this month the problem is back! <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ae623459717d7ca2e6b937f57c99dbfe9539db588749fec2423c7e4739fc6369/detection" rel="nofollow">Virustotal again reports</a> 14 detections for Gen:Heur.Conjar.9!</p>
<p>sneakfest.exe used the Aug 14 nightly, so I tried again with latest nightly and testgame/test.{rpg,ico}. It got only <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c4d39d05a77466cf177677de42e920fae445bc3002e9988fb67527080bfe332e/detection" rel="nofollow">8 detections</a> for test.zip and <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8f50c5511fdd053354145c59286754df33d03e4d4416f48b79022196fe2db075/detection" rel="nofollow">10 detections</a> for test.exe. (Only SecureAge APEX finds the unmodified nightly game.exe as malicious)</p>
