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.

Hello, I have a problem with my Apex Legends, which says: "Windows is looking for the R5Apex.exe file. So that you can find it yourself, click Search"
https://prnt.sc/p5ec3w


Whenever I open Apex, this happens and when I go to the Apex folder "Origin games" - "Apex"

the error "R5Apex.exe"

it looks like this: https://prnt.sc/p5ecj9
the file is not in the right "format"

Does anyone have any idea how to tidy up?
