There's nothing to worry about! It's a known false positive. In fact, if you look on the official site, you'll see this section that mentions VirusTotal:

VirusTotalをはじめとした一括ウイルススキャンサイトで、有害判定となる場合がありますが、技術的に完全なチェックソフトは存在しないことによる擬陽性ですので、安心してお使いください。 毎日ClamAVで最新版をウイルススキャンしています

Running this through google translate results in the following:

While some comprehensive virus scanning sites, such as VirusTotal, may flag this software as malicious, this is a false positive due to the lack of technically perfect virus detection software. Please use it with confidence. We scan with the latest version of ClamAV daily for viruses.

You can even click on that last sentence to be taken to the results of the daily ClamAV scan.

A lot of us have used ukagaka for years without issue. It's not just Some Mysterious Shady Program™, there's a whole thriving community of ukagaka devs out there, both in English and Japanese! That wouldn't exist if SSP were malicious software.

That depends on what specifically you're asking!

If you're asking about how to configure your email account in SSP so that ghosts may access it, I'd recommend checking out this response from a while back that explains how to fill in the POP information. You can access the POP information by opening the SSP Preferences (right click on a ghost, hover over "Options", and choose "Preferences...") and choosing the POP page.

If you're asking about what specific settings you need to set up on Proton's side, or what information it uses for POP, I don't know! I do not currently use Proton. The general recommendation is to google the name of your email provider + POP, and that will typically turn up the relevant information. So, in your case, I'd try searching "Proton POP", or "Proton POP settings"

If you're asking about how to make ghosts automatically alert you when there are new emails, then there are a few options in the preferences that can help with this!

First of all, you need to go into the POP settings in the SSP preferences, and choose the email address that you want to be checked automatically. (Or, create one if you haven't added one yet!)

You can either highlight one of the addresses in the box and click the button that says "Modify...", or you can double click on the address you want to modify.

That will take you to this page:

At the bottom, do you see the tick box that says "Auto check"? That box is off by default, but if you turn it on, SSP will automatically perform email checks for you at the specified interval.

You can adjust how frequently these checks are performed by changing the number in the box to the right, the one that says "Interval (Minutes):". Currently it is set to 10 minutes, but if you wanted it to check hourly, you would set it to 60, for example.

Once you have those set how you want, click OK.

Before you're completely done though, I would recommend taking a look at these settings at the top of the POP window in the SSP preferences:

The settings here are really helpful for getting your email setup just right!

If you have a lot of emails and you find that the email checks take too long, you might try turning off the "Get email headers" option. If you're only using ghosts which do not read out the email headers, then you may as well turn this off to speed email checks up!

The second option, "Notify number of new emails instead of all emails", can be used if you only want your ghosts to alert you of emails that they've already seen.

With this option disabled, the ghost will give you the count of total emails in your inbox (or at least, the ones that your email provider's POP settings allow it to see). That's useful if you want to see a running total.

With this option enabled, the ghost will only alert you to new emails. That means once it alerts you to an email, it won't alert you about it again, so it instead will act as a way to see that there's something new rather than seeing the total count.

(Or, at least, I believe that is the functionality! I'm trying to test and having a bit of trouble with Gmail not sending the correct number of emails...)

The third option, "Notify events only when new emails exist", is specifically for auto checks. With this option turned on, ghosts will not react to automatic email checks unless there is something new to show. Handy if you want them to check frequently, but don't want to see the email message all the time!

And finally, the "Notification sound for new emails" setting. This is just a sound that will play when the ghost performs an email check! (Not including silent checks that don't notify the ghost, as described with the previous option.)

If you'd like a sound to attract your attention to the fact you have a new email, then set one here.

And that's about it! Mix and match those settings as desired, and you can have a nice automatic alert whenever there's something new to see!

Well, actually, there is one more item worth mentioning. It will depend on the ghost, but some ghosts are able to display email headers! Assuming you haven't disabled them in the preferences, of course.

This depends entirely on if the ghost's developer has programmed their ghost to respond to the header data in some fashion, and the specific implementation will vary from ghost to ghost. But if you'd like to give it a try, Emily/Phase4.5 (the default ghost of SSP) is able to display email headers, and so is SSP Angel!

If you mean the option for ghosts to use voice synthesis, it can be activated from the right click menu! Just right click a ghost, go to the Utilities tab, and select Voice synthesis.

You can click this option again to turn it off when you're done with it.

There is also the "Speech" tab of the SSP preferences, where you can change which voice you want to use, what pitch to use, and the volume and speed of the voice.

I'm don't uderstand it at all

Hello, thanks for writing back!

The good news is, you only need to fill in a part of that page. And hopefully it will be fairly straightforward!

I'm going to provide a screenshot for anyone else that wants to follow along, so that it can be seen more clearly.

First of all, put the email address of the account you want to access in the "Account" field at the top there.

After this, what you have to do varies based on your email provider. You said you're using hotmail, so I ran a search online for "hotmail POP settings", and found this page that has the details we'll need.

It seems that hotmail is using the type POP3, so there's no need to touch that "Type" dropdown. So, we'll move on to the "Server" field.

Hotmail's POP3 server is pop3.live.com, so go ahead and copy and paste that into the "Server" field. It's also using port 995, so change the "Port" field from 110 to 995.

Finally, in the "User ID" field you'll put the username that you use to access your email account, and in the "Password" field you'll put your email account's password!

Everything else you can leave exactly as-is. It should look like this when you're done (but of course, with your account details, not my mockup details).

When you click the "OK" button, you should see your email account appear in the "Account Settings" section of the POP tab of the SSP preferences. (The bits that are blocked out are my personal email accounts, don't worry about that.)

Once you've done this, right click on a ghost, go to the "Check Mail" tab, and click on the email address of the account you just set up!

The ghost should attempt to check the email account, and report back to you with the number of emails.

If something goes wrong, they should give you an error message. If no error message is given, try it with another ghost, such as SSP Angel. SSP Angel will always give you the error, and will also have some basic troubleshooting tips depending on what the error is, so they're a good one to try this with.

Either way, if you're getting an error and can't figure it out, please send us another ask with the error details so we can try to assist!

Apologies for the late response to your asks/reblogs! Unfortunately, without knowing more about what you've tried so far, it's hard for me to help without just repeating the same things that have already been said.

With gmail, you must set up what is called an app password in order for SSP to access the account.That link will tell you how to set it up. In SSP's POP settings, you will need to enter the app password instead of your account's normal password. Basically, it's a special key that only SSP can make use of, instead of accessing your account via normal means.

It sounds like what you want to make is a shell!

.nar files are just .zip files but with a different extension. SSP will install the files from the.nar, and in the case of ghosts, those go into the ssp/ghost/ folder. After this, it doesn't touch the .nar file anymore, so there's no need to edit it! All the files you'd want to edit will be in that ghost's folder in ssp/ghost/. And, conveniently, they are plain .png and text files that are easily edited!

Ghosts are modular in a lot of ways, and one of those ways is the system of shells. Shells are the visual portion of the ghost, and by setting up multiple shells, you can swap between different styles, characters, or whatever the alternate shells are set up to be! This way, the look of the ghost can be changed at will without changing the way it functions.

This is how ghosts like FLELE work! FLELE uses this system to load up entirely different characters as skins for its music player. But on the other hand, some ghosts have additional shells that are the same characters but in a new style. Sometimes these are made by the author of the ghost, but sometimes they're made by folks who are fans of that ghost! It can be a sort of fanart.

Making a shell sounds like it would be ideal in your case, since you could make your own shell for the ghost, while still having the original one available to you! Especially since, if it's a ghost that's still receiving network updates, you wouldn't want your new shell files to be overwritten by the old ones in an update. So, having a separate shell for this is safer.

Go to ssp/ghost/ and then find the folder of the particular ghost you want to make a shell for. Once you're in that ghost's folder, there will be a folder called shell. This is where all the shells are kept for that ghost. In there, there will likely be a folder called master, or default shell. It may possibly have another name as well, but those are the most common.

Simply copy the master or default shell folder (or whatever it's called) to get started! Inside of that folder you'll find all the art files to replace, and you'll also find descript.txt, which is where you can enter a name for your new shell, and other information. If you need more info on setting up shells, in case you end up needing to do any shell code or set up things like new collisions, you can find information about that in this guide (the "Phase 2 - The Shell" section).

Hmm. Unfortunately, this is where it gets more tricky for me to help. I don't use hotmail myself, so I'm not actually sure what your settings would need to be.

In Gmail, these are the settings I have access to, and how I have it configured.

Do you have settings like these? And if so, are you able to show what they are so I can see what we're working with?

the emal and password are correct, I've checked, and for the user ID I've tried both the email adress (with and without the @hotmail.com) and what shows up in front of "From:" when I send an email to someone.

Any idea on what I might be doing wrong?

It looks correct, although I did notice that on my personal email accounts that I have set up (which I did not show), the "Use SSL/TLS Connection (Check Port)" box is ticked.

Checking back on that page about the POP information for hotmail, I do see now that they say "Choose the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) option for ... POP3". So, that may mean that this option needs to be ticked.

Could you try ticking that box, and then try the email check again? It should look like this:
