Malware? Virus? or just a false positive? (IDP.alexa.51)

[Lars0viCH]

Hey

So when i downloaded the game earlier today, i got a malware-notification saying that the launcer inlcuded a virus named IDP.alexa.51.

Is it a false positive or could it be something dangerous?

I btw used the mediafirelink to download.

From the vage description antivirus companies give about their code names, I would say if it was reported by Avast, then it is false positive, and if it was reported by AVG it is not.

`Launcher.exe` in short modify `Battleforge.exe` at runtime to redirect it to our servers instead of long dead EA's servers, that means it gets access to your password.

Antivirus is not smart enough to detect how it modifies, or what it do with aquired informations.
