False positive or not ?
« on: June 10, 2022, 07:38:35 AM »
Hello, yesterday i downloaded a game from epic games store, the game was maneater, it was that free games that they give every week, today when i logged on my pc avast said one of the game files was infected and sent it to quarantine, what worries me is that on virustotal scan has 2 detections, so i dont know if its a real malware or not.

You should wait for a final verdict by avast team.
Complicating factor here is that the flagged file has not been signed.
Moreover there is also a crash of the program being reported, read:
