Sifu-Win64-Shipping.exe - IDP.Generic virus

[hellokittyxshawnmichaels]

My antivirus detected in this last update Sifu-Win64-Shipping.exe as an IDP.Generic (trojan virus) What should I do?

Get a Anti Virus Program that's not utter garbage.

So you believe is a false positive, right?

[Yuraiden]

Yeah.

You do not need any Anti virus software apart from windows defender. This is a common misconception from people who do not know much about viruses etc..

You will be fine.

Norton blocks the sifu-win64-shipping.exe immediately. High Risk! I will quarantine the .exe and start a deep virus scan.

Norton completely ruined the game. It quarantined that file and now it won't let me remove it from the quarantine, i have tried to reinstall multiple times with antivirus deactivated and now im getting an error when i try to finish installing

A PC restart might help.

Strange, my Norton lets me check the quarantined files with an option to delete them. Worked for me. And then the normal procedure:
Let Sifu check for missing files, game.exe marked as an exception. Run game.

I use Norton + Windows Defender --> 99,9% false positive, as Defender did not intervene.

I've checked the Sifu-Win64-Shipping.exe file (got from EGS) via VirusTotal (link to the report: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c61e150fd272eb9ae4dc9f3b5d3da13831743e4ccdb85db97e72b4ca7a62405c/behavior) and it tried to execute the following commands:

%SAMPLEPATH%
%windir%\System32\svchost.exe -k WerSvcGroup
wmiadap.exe /F /T /R
%windir%\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe

After a few minutes of looking it up:

The service group "WerSvcGroup" is running in the svchost.exe process and the WerSvc service sends error reports to Microsoft.

Wmiadap is a application that runs on Windows that can update performance information in the WMI repository.
Switches:
/f - parses all the performance libraries on the system and refreshes the classes derived from Win32_PerfRawData and Win32_PerfFormattedData.
/r - parses all the Windows Driver Model drivers on the system to create performance objects.

WmiPrvse.exe is a process in the Windows OS that can host one or more WMI providers.

WMI Providers - preinstalled providers that can request information from, and send instructions to, WMI managed objects.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems.

The thing I do not understand is why the game can possibly need to do all of this?
If the issue is present in the Steam version as well, it is most disappointing.
