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.

DIdn't work for me.  I made exceptions over and over, and Avast doesn't care, it just goes over my authoritah and deletes it again.

Go into Avast and look in your chest. The file will be there just simply select restore and it will put the file back.
