  Malwarebytes just moved the TS4_x64.exe to quarantine because of "Malware.Heuristic.1003", after installing the latest update. I also uploaded the file to virustotal and there Malwarebytes didn't detect anything but instead another app said that it's a heuristic virus.
  What's EA doing now that even anti-virus/malware apps become active?
