Hi, I purchased Jav-IT but I couldn't download it because everytime I tried, Windows would flag it as a trojan, specifically this one:

Trojan:Win32/Gracing.I

Can you please link me to your Patreon?  I can't find the link anywhere, I paid for your program, and it's all pretty frustrating, tbh.  I just want to decrypt my dcv files.  Thank you.

Hi. The warning from Windows is a false positive. The app uses automation and compression techniques that some malware also shares in behavior, so Windows Defender flags it based on heuristics. In other words, it guesses based on behavior without actual proof. Microsoft does offer a paid code signing and whitelisting service to stop these warnings, but that is essentially a pay to be trusted system. For the Patreon link, simply see the README.txt file for more details.
