Re: Antivirus programs reporting r5apex.exe as malware

Don't tell me i'm the only one?
Tried to repair the game and avast still blocks me out, removing the exe file.

Edit: i did report it as false positive but still curious on why does avast think its malware.

    Avast is kinda a horrible program tbh. Windows defender and malwarebytes are plenty enough if anything gets past that you was targeted from the start and was meant to be hacked. Other then that id suggest allowing it a exception on your firewall status as the ani cheat is reading memory to see if your running 3rd party and most likely whats flagging the game. 

  • this happened to me as well so what i did was that i went to the avast window and went to protection on the right hand side which brings up multiple things, and in the top right, there is something called "virus chest" and then i hit more on what it thought was a possible malware and did restore and make an exception and then the game worked fine
