Safely Run VSD Craft Without False Alerts
PANGTE
This is typically a false positive, not an actual security issue.
1. Common Reasons for False Positives
• Missing or Invalid Digital Signature
Software downloaded from unofficial sources (e.g., “green” portable versions or modified installers) may lack a valid digital signature, causing security tools to flag it.
• System-Level Operations
If the software accesses system directories or modifies configurations, some antivirus programs may misinterpret these actions as risky behavior.
2. How to Verify the Software Is Safe
Please ensure your installer is downloaded from:
✔ The official VSDinside website
✔ A trusted and verified distribution channel
If you are unsure of the source, do not proceed with installation.
3. Solutions for Windows Systems
(1) Temporarily Disable Windows Defender Real-Time Protection
If you trust the installer, you may temporarily disable protection:
Path:
Settings → Update & Security → Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection → Manage Settings
Turn off:
Real-time protection
Cloud-delivered protection
⚠ Important: Re-enable all protection after installation.
(2) Add VSD Craft to the Exclusion List
Go to Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions
Add the installation directory of VSD Craft
Check “Exclude all files in this folder”
This prevents future blocks.
(3) Install in Safe Mode (Optional)
If installation is still blocked:
Restart PC → Settings → Update & Security → Recovery → Advanced startup
Boot into Safe Mode
Run the installer again
Safe Mode loads fewer security components, reducing false positives.
(4) Check for Windows Updates
Some updates may reset Defender settings or re-enable protection features.
Ensure:
Your system is up to date
Tamper Protection is not unexpectedly turned on
4. macOS: “App is Damaged” Warning
If macOS reports the app as damaged, run:
xattr -cr /Applications/VSD\ Craft.app
Then reopen the application.
5. Important Notes
Disabling antivirus protection reduces security—restore it immediately afterward.
Avoid cracked, modified, or unofficial versions—these may carry real risks.
