Those are the reasons, usually I would advise the author to make a false positive appeal, but reading the story (and the completed version you already tried to upload, I noticed that the story really isn't up to quality standards for the site and won't really have you go through the time of making an appeal that is likely to be turned down.

A majority of the issues I see lie in the story itself although there are other issues present too (mainly with capitalization errors. "I start it up, and I noticed the wallpaper had changed to a frowning Anime/Manga (anime/manga, as they're not proper nouns) character", "Then, I tried looking in ROBLOX and MInecraft folders,", etc. and wording issues. "But there was breaking news stating that a house was found burning on fire (sic)").

Story issues: "It was labeled "PERSONALINFSENDER" and it was indeed in all capital letters. I was going to check it out, but big flashy ROBLOX letters appeared and I continued to try and play." I'm sorry, but this feels like a really unlikely decision to make. A mysterious folder shows up that reads "personal info. sender" and the protagonist just ignores it. This feels really convenient considering the opening is about viruses and how their computer is now likely more susceptible to them. ("This means that your chances of obtaining a virus were really high.")

Story issues cont.: It also really doesn't feel like you have the largest grasp on technology here. "Then my computer shut down and all the electronics in the house also shut off and wouldn't come back on." How exactly did a computer virus shut off all electronics in a house? If it randomly developed into an EMP, how exactly did the protagonist manage to call his friend? "There was NO way I was staying there. I called up my best friend, and he said it was fine if I stayed there for the night."

Story issues cont.: "The ".txt" file contained a very large list of email addresses, including one of my best friend. I figured I'd call him to tell him the weird ".txt" I found, but my screen turned green." Why exactly doesn't he warn his friend. A random EMP wipes out all of his electronics (yet leaves the phone/cellphone running) and he notices a list containing a lot of personal info and his reaction is to go over to the house (the same one where the address is listed) and not even mention that info to them?

Story issues end: "there was breaking news stating that a house was found burning on fire and 1 person had killed several police officers." Why exactly does this person target the house and randomly burn it down/murder multiple police officers? He's apparently committed this crime before, why do this now. Then there's the ending: "This event still freaks me out to this day, but at least I'll have a roommate for a few years!" This feels like a massive tonal shift and is a pretty massive plot hole. Why exactly would he decide to stay with his friend (whose name was on the list as well) especially since it's never stated if he was the original hacker ("Before he was executed, he stated that he got the address from a hacked computer.")?

I'm sorry, but there are quite a lot of issues here and even if the mention of Minecraft/Roblox/Windows XP/etc. weren't included, the story still has quite a lot of problems.
