Everspace2.exe flagged by AV scan for Malware?
:alertalert: DISCLAIMER The objective of this Post is not to put Rockfish on blast nor is the objective to harm their Reputation or Everspace as a franchise.
this Post was made because of security concerns. The Objective of this post is to make the devs aware of potential security risks. :alertalert:

So I was doing my monthly AV scan (28.04.2024_14:07) just to be sure everything is OK,
and my AV flagged Everspace2.exe as infected with Win. Malware. Lazy-10030531-0
(which is ransomware as I found out) anyway after making it unlaunchable, and after I deconstructed the file and scanned everything.
I did not find anything, while doing research i found out that it supposedly is also infected with the lotok backdoor.
so I dug even deeper and could not find anything.
So it's most likely a false positive, but the question still is it really a false positive? How can I be sure that it is safe to launch?

Thanks for the Info I also followed the Link and yeah it defiantly looks like an false positive and I know no software is perfect but still because i don't even use Avast or AVG because of things like false positives and because Avast is everything but user data friendly
