===SMAPI files disappear or your antivirus complains===

Your antivirus might remove or complain about some SMAPI files. This is based on ''heuristic detection'' — SMAPI rewrites mods so they work on your computer, and rewriting files is something malware also does, so your antivirus got suspicious. Antiviruses learn to allow SMAPI after enough users download it, but this resets for each release. SMAPI doesn't have a trojan — you can check by [https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI reading the code], [https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/ decompiling the download], or [https://www.virustotal.com/ uploading it to VirusTotal].
