    Hello. I just started my computer and this window popped up.

    A false positive I assume? Just wanted to check if this happened to anyone else recently?

    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, a false positive :(

    Can you attach a detailed report here so we can contact them with this problem?

    I use Avast too, but I have never had this problem. I don't know what could cause yours to see it as a virus.

    This is all I could find. This apparently happened two days ago as well, I never saw that message though. Maybe I was away from the computer at the time.

    To give some more info, I am using the experimental build and it is currently not updated to the latest version (one version behind I believe).
    Also the log says, During the file delete, error occurred: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. I don't know why it is being used, I wasn't playing the game at any of these occasions. Steam wasn't open either.

    What happened today was, I logged into Windows but walked away as I was going to do something else first. When I came back 10 minutes later I saw this message for a brief second before it disappeared. I thought it was an update, but the window didn't look like they normally do so I right clicked Avast and chose "Show last popup message" and that window showed up.

    I found this log in "C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\report". I hope it's enough.

    Hopefully you can get this resolved tdev. Avast support is kind of stuck up with this stuff and they almost always will say "no false positive, we are sure this is a threat" :/

    Yeah, I guess they don't understand garbage about the people who want to run servers for their games let along this garbage that happens.
