Antivirus programs reporting r5apex.exe as malware

So after latest patch/update at least Avast and AVG seem to think Apex is virus? Something to worry about or just skip it?

Hi all.

This does appear to be a false positive of course -they do happen from time to time- but we'll investigate what's happening here.

Thanks for the posts.

I know I can make it as exception but question is what the * does that mean. Never before has any antivirus done this and now suddenly after patch at least 2 different programs are reporting this as malware.

Makes you question what EA did for it to be suddenly flagged after working no-problem for months...
