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.

Hi, I think I solved the issue (atleast for me) 

Launch Avast and go to settings in the right corner and then exceptions. There you will have the option too add an exception. Copy and paste this file in the blank space, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\R5Apex.exe" and add it as an "exception-file" and repair the game in Origin. Worked for me.

sorry for poop English
