Security and trust

Check the file

Every released version has its SHA-256 fingerprint. After downloading the zip, compute it in PowerShell:

Get-FileHash .\PhoenixStudio-v1.0.2-win64.zip -Algorithm SHA256

It must be identical to this one (version 1.0.2):

If it does not match, do not open it and let us know.

Why do Windows or my antivirus warn?

Phoenix Studio does not have a digital signature yet, and new, little-downloaded programs often trigger SmartScreen. Also, a tool that helps compile AutoIt programs can look suspicious to some antivirus engines. If the hash matches, you can choose More info ▸ Run anyway.

• Version 1.0.2 was scanned on VirusTotal: 0 / 65.
• Version 1.0.2 was scanned on MetaDefender: 0 / 18.
• Version 1.0.2 was scanned on Hybrid Analysis: 0 / 24.
• You can upload the zip to VirusTotal yourself and compare.

What to know about the program

• It needs no account and no installer: it is a zip you unzip.
• Your projects are plain files (.afd, .afp, .au3) in the folders you choose.
• To run and compile it uses the AutoIt you installed.
• The AI assistant is optional: it only connects to the provider you configure, with your own key.

If you send a report from the site

Reports you send from the report page are stored so they can be solved:

• What you write in the form (name, email, text, code) and the screenshots you attach are stored.
• It is only used to understand the problem and reply to you; it is never sold or shared.
• Your IP address is not stored, only a salted fingerprint used to stop abuse. To have it deleted, write to us.
