I receive a malicious website warning when I try to download the game

Post by Luncu_ »

Greetings everyone, new one here...and my apologies if my first question/problem may seem a bit stupid...

I recently switched to a new PC and so I have to download/install everything from scratch again, just as OpenTTD in that case...
However, when I tried to download the game from the website, Malwarebytes sends me a warning about a "malicious website" being detected and won`t let me proceed with the download.

Now, I`m relatively sure thats just because I try to download an "unknown software" and thats why Malwarebytes is going crazy, but I take these things seriously, so is it "safe" to use the download link on the website?
Just in case there has been a hacker attack or something and the download link now leads somewhere else?
My apologies again, I am just a bit paranoid, I guess...or perhaps someone else got a similar "warning"?

No. OpenTTD download link is safe, if you're downloading from the correct website.
Turn off that malware scanner(?) and download OTTD, then turn it on again.
