Re: Antivirus programs reporting r5apex.exe as malware

Hey @Arxenya 

If your PC is not infected with any other viruses then it's safe to restore the file.

There is always a chance the a virus could have infected the Apex Launcher and i suggest repairing.

But i don't think that is the case here but just a false positive.

    No other virus in my pc, I found the same problem that the other guys reported with the r5apex.exe file only after window 10 update, in my case it's about Avast. But here we are not talking about bug or simple game problems, malware and viruses are a big problem, it is right to be sure. So thanks for answering me, I will follow your guide to solve the problem and return to play.

    Guys, I believe this only happen after the void patch. Only AVG & Avast is giving problem.

    I don't see other players or other kind/type of antivirus reporting.

    Here's another thing, AVG & Avast has merged together.

    So guys just make an exception on r5apex.
