Hi,

This is a generic detection by our antiransomware component. 

Can you unquarantine what was detected, then reboot and then zip and attach the C:\Program Files (x86)\Articulate\Articulate Updater\Updater.exe to your next post please?

This so we can have an additional look.

Thanks!

 

Edited to add, never mind, I see you provided the link in your post already for it to install.

I have verified this is a false positive indeed, so this will be fixed.
