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.

Just go to antivirus' trash can, select the last file removed (check that's r5apex.exe), open the menu and select "restore file and add to exception"

U'll be able to play again without repairing game from the client.

Hope this works, it works for me
