Please note
		Your antivirus program may report that some PlayOnMac .exe files 
contain malware. Don't be alarmed! This is a false positive due to the 
fact that these .exe may interact with emulated Windows system registry 
and that could be considered harmful behavior for some antivirus 
programs. These .exe are safe to use, especially on macOS which do not 
use registry. If you encounter false positive, we really advise you to 
report it to your antivirus software company. Even the commercial 
version of Wine (Codeweavers) or ports relying on wine have the same 
issue.
