So apparently during a screen saver scan, my ARMA II steam files have come up as FP. Added below.

I've submitted it and the first one after a definition update came back as no virus as it was a legitimate file, I extracted the file and scanned it on my desktop and it came back as the virus, went straight to the chest, I then scanned both files, identical files within the chest and 1 came back as no virus whereas the one that was extracted then sent to the desktop was a fp, I've delete it on accident forgetting about Virustotal.

It should be fixed now.
