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.
Hey @WondersLV
If you are using Avast or AVG then the chance your system is infected is small.
As you can read for my answer to Arxenya, if you didn't get before any notifications you'll be fine.
If you want to eliminate the risk of restoring a infected file.
Set a Exception and Repair the game, this will make sure you have a clean executable.
But if only AVG and Avast flagging this as a malicious file the chance is pretty small it will damage your system.
If the game was infected with a huge virus, i'm sure EA would have already took action.
But if you want to wait till they whitelist it again, that's also fine.
A lot of false positive's get patched really quick.
@ZeelmaekersCan you tell some strong arguments whay you are suggesting to trust it? not like one buddy said... because it's not trust worthy. So show pls in some ofiacal information that is safe meybe from avast or EA,that is safe to do it, i mean to Open the Avast user interface an manualy change it.
Just EA should garantie that is safe.

Hiya!
We're currently working with Respawn and various antivirus developers on this. At this time we have no reason to believe anything malicious is going on and that this is a simple false positive caused by the update.
Feel free to @ us if you have any further questions 🙂
