  • Same issue here, not sure it is actually causing issues or not. Weirdly I also ran repair and noticed - this does not happen on the first ever launch of the game after repair/install.

    But on every relaunch, just before the game properly hooks I get a Windows Defender alert, when I check history I see "Severe" threat for "Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A" which is automatically removed.

    An additional frustration, I am relatively confident this is a false positive, likely an anti-cheat measure or something but because the filename is also random and pushed into temp storage we cannot even Allow it and have it consistently allowed.

    I did read somewhere, that this may be related to "FanControl" utility, alfri68​ do you run FanControl by any chance? I do but I don't see how it's relevant.

    not use fancontrol

     

    Maybe it should be included in the Win Defender exceptions.

    Not sure about everyone else, but I wouldn't feel comfortable creating an exception for .tmp files in temp folder - asking for trouble. It's exactly where defender ought to be protecting.

    I don't understand why no one else is having this problem. Maybe we could put an exception in the Battlefield 6 folder?

    Hey, I have the same issue. Everytime I start BF6, I get a virus detection.

     

  • I thought i was going mad thinking these were linked to BF6, but I'm having the same warnings in defender. I don't have the notifications on highly visible as my computer gets used for games and streaming from first party sources so my risk should be low. I still check Defender every few days and noticed that since the 10th I have had a few of these warnings a day. Glad I'm not alone as it has settled my panic somewhat.

  • same issue here, looking for possible resolution as I have blue screens every game.
