As I'm not seeing seeing this and not enough details are given, its hard to give sound advice but...
In general, if anti-virus is flagging a file as something that looks like "trojan.gen", the ".gen" part refers to a "generic threat" and indicates that the file contains a portion of code that kind of, sort of looks like known malware but does not match it exactly. These are usually false positives but caution is always warranted.

These things require the virus definitions to be updated and need to be fixed by your anti-virus vendor. Or in the case of Windows Defender, by Microsoft.

It is an issue with one of the libraries the game uses, so not really fixable by Jake.
It should be a false positive.

You've been able to run it despite the Trojan warning with no issue?

[Vanir]

Yep, my Windows Defender seems to be a bit weird. Had to change nothing.
I guess it might be because I run another antivirus over it, so it could actually be disabled?

Also having this issue, Windows Defender says it found Trojan:Win32/Pomal!rfn in SongsOfSyx.jar. This is on beta ea67
