Is geometry dash Geode mod safe?

[u/gargoyle274]

So recently i downloaded Geode and installed it. It runs perfectly on geometry dash with no problems, but is it a virus? i ran the installer through virus total and 1/70 got flagged. windows also warned me before running it that it could be potentially unsafe. https://geode-sdk.org/install this is the link that i installed it from.

Some antivirus on virustotal always flag positive, no reason to be worried

[u/Piefaceluke]

it is safe

[u/JRisStoopid]

If it wasn't safe it wouldn't be so widely used and people wouldn't encourage you to use it

[u/Known-Result-8291]

if it wasnt safe,this sub wouldnt exist

[u/i_am_somebody78]

1/70 flagged doesnt mean its unsafe, if you wanna check you should search the exact type of vulnerability it flagged and check what it does

[u/masteroga101]

So 1 antivirus thinks it is a virus and the other however many other anti viruses don't? Clearly a false positive

[u/rip_Bacon13]

its safe
its because virustotal scans it on a lot of antiviruses and some of them are much more sensitive and just plain bad i would reccomend using tria.ge to do a virus scan it lets you open any website/file and test what happens
at the end it gives an report

[u/Exciting-Garage2723 → u/rip_Bacon13]

dude just use windows defender

all those antiviruses are more like viruses by themselves, have you even tried removing one? it's horribly hard, plus most of them scam you

[u/rip_Bacon13 → u/Exciting-Garage2723]

triage isnt a antivirus its a vm for testing the file/website
i mean yeah there is windows defender but its still good to test somethings

[u/IJHGMD → u/Exciting-Garage2723]

i remember when avg browser and antivirus got installed on my old laptop because it was bundled with another download without me knowing
it was almost impossible to remove and made the performance of the laptop horrible , when i typed in a textbox it only shew up 10 seconds after…

[u/Commercial-Carrot402]

As long as DrWeb or Kaspersky doesn't flag it as a virus, its totally safe.

[u/HystericalGD]

geode is safe, windows defender almost always warns you of everything

[u/1Hersheys_Roblox1]

yes its safe

[u/Own-Outcome2249]

tells everybody that. especially on mac 😭

[u/ItsYaBoi-KillMe]

Nah dude, you're fucked. All your files are about to be encrypted and locked until you send bitcoin to some random dude in Russia

[u/gargoyle274 → u/ItsYaBoi-KillMe]

gg bro

[u/deepv2__]

stop using virustotal use literally anything else

[u/Henry_puffball → u/deepv2__]

Like what?

[u/Exciting-Garage2723 → u/Henry_puffball]

windows defender

[u/Henry_puffball → u/Exciting-Garage2723]

They do very different things

[u/Annual-Pickle5537]

since 1 flagged that means you downloaded a geode from a sketchy website

it could be something like a bitcoin miner or take your passwords

[u/gargoyle274 → u/Annual-Pickle5537]

but i installed it from the official website. i also included the link

[u/CosmicCapybara16 → u/Annual-Pickle5537]

most wrong a person has been ever

[u/Annual-Pickle5537 → u/CosmicCapybara16]

it was a joke bc im tired of ppl asking the same stupid question over and over again

op said that they downloaded it from the official website and still thought it was a virus bc a singular random antivirus provider said so even though thousands of other people use geode lmfao

[u/CosmicCapybara16 → u/Annual-Pickle5537]

oh ok

[u/gargoyle274 → u/Annual-Pickle5537]

i was also wondering if i downloaded it from the wrong site, so i downlaoded the different installers: github and the official page. i used powershell to examine the hash numbers and they were identical.

[u/wonusbonusyes → u/gargoyle274]

is not a virus. Just geode injects his own code into geometry dash that's why

[u/FethXY]

It's safe dude, It's just false positive,
