I think this^ is honestly very irresponsible. A lot of his fans are kids and he's sending out the message that ignoring security warnings for software that you don't even know what it is meant to do is fine because it's undertale related.

Fix your goddamn software instead of telling kids to ignore security warnings.

Windows Smartscreen uses a reputation-based system that is extremely disadvantageous to small developers, and there isn't really a ton Toby can do about the software itself until enough people manually bypass the Smartscreen blocking menu (which tells some MS cert reputation server), to pass some unknown threshold.

Here's a pretty good overview of the problem.

As for the uninstallation bug, Fox says he made the executable using game maker's executable making wizard, so the problem I would argue is with Game Maker itself unfortunately.

Doesn't this happen to a lot of new programs that virus scanners haven't seen before?

"Hey apparently the uninstaller for UNDERTALE 2 just deletes the entire directory the uninstaller is in" - Be careful when uninstalling Undertale 2!!!
