my anti-virus just blocked exe of cyberpunk

any thoughts?

Been monitoring this forum for a few weeks now and this is the first occurrence of this behavior that i've seen.

Two possible outcomes:
Over zealous AV (which is not a bad thing).
Some malicious process corrupted that executable (unlikely).

I'd run a quick scan, read any log output and if clean make an exception for that executable.

I just did a scan of my bin folder and found no threats.

Avast will do this to a lot of games just saying, because Avast seemed to have an issue with my Destiny 2's exe file when multiple scans of the file turned up nothing, as well as my GTA V, Skyrim, Fallout new vegas and fallout 4

Unless you're modding from an unreputable source, it's almost always a false positive.

[cheetah1546]

same thing happens with some that download gta iv from steam, it's a false positive

Your AV only wants what's good for you.

[Heu, Iterum Id Feci]

As has been said before, with very high certainty it's a false positive due to heuristic file scanning, unless something else on your system infected it or you downloaded the game from inooficial sources. Things like that happen from time to time...I even once got it for a Microsoft download, which I found quite funny at the time...
If you are unsure you can always try services that check files on multiple Virus checking engines. A while back Virustotal was the hype for that, though I don't know the current status for that. I have my own private solution for a comparable use case. ;)

None. Don't know what AV you're packing, so: none.
