# SimpliPlay - Antiviruses
Especially for the desktop version, many antiviruses flag SimpliPlay as a malicious app. This is a false positive, in other words, the antivirus
thinks SimpliPlay is malicious when it isn't.
To resolve these problems, it depends on your situation, operating system, and antivirus.
## Scans and Closes
In case your antivirus repeatedly scans and/or closes SimpliPlay by force, you should whitelist the app by going to their software whitelisting page,
or force your antivirus to not flag SimpliPlay by whitelisting and/or using Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (macOS) to force-close the scan operations (though this might require adminstrator privileges).
## Quarantined Files
In case your antivirus flags important files in the SimpliPlay app required for it to run, you'll need to unquarantine them by going to your antiviruses
*Quarantine* page. Unquarantine any files related to the SimpliPlay app.
From testing with antiviruses, we have found that SimpliPlay seems to be the most flagged on **Windows**. You most likely won't need to do anything on other operating systems.
