CrosshairGG — Ultimate Crosshair Overlay for FPS Players
The ultimate crosshair overlay for competitive FPS players
Windows may show “Unknown publisher” — that’s normal for new apps.
Is CrosshairGG safe?
Yes. CrosshairGG is a real desktop app — not a cheat, not a RAT, not malware. It adds a crosshair overlay for games. Some users see a Windows warning because the app is new or unsigned, not because it’s dangerous.
Why Windows might warn you
- “Windows protected your PC” / “Unknown publisher” — SmartScreen doesn’t recognize the publisher yet.
- Antivirus false positives — small or new apps, especially Electron apps with auto-update, sometimes get flagged by mistake.
This is common for indie software. It does not mean the file is infected.
Still worried?
Scan the installer on VirusTotal if you want a second opinion. We don’t ask for your password, bank info, or remote access — the app only needs normal permissions to run the overlay.
Is this a virus?
No. CrosshairGG is legitimate overlay software built for gaming. Security tools sometimes flag new or unsigned installers, but that isn’t the same as detecting actual malware.
Why does Windows say unknown publisher?
Windows SmartScreen checks whether it recognizes the software publisher. CrosshairGG is newer software, so SmartScreen may not have enough reputation data yet. That warning is about trust history, not proof that the file is harmful.
Is it safe to click Run anyway?
If you downloaded from this official page, yes — the warning is about publisher reputation, not a confirmed infection. Reputation usually improves as more people install the app, but we can’t promise every antivirus will stay silent forever.
