MBAM ransomware false positive?!

Hi,

I have and old game file that was detected as a ransomware and i think its a false positive.

The main issue is that now i CANNOT access the file anymore, MBAM "quarantined" the file but not, so its not in the quarantine and the best part is that i cannot access the file. MBAM took ownership of the file (i think) and i cant do anything with it..... I wanted to upload the file to virustotal to see if it really has some issues but because the file owner is unknown/system/whoknows and administrator cant access the file (nor cant i take ownership of the file in any way, nor can i add myself as a co, part or any access to the file. I tried in command prompt takeown ,and right click properties security too nothing works.)

So its not anywhere in mbam either sadly:(

In previous detections i can see that there is a log that it got detected, and quarantined but the quarantine is empty...

this is the detection log: (was in native language so i took the liberty to translate this to english, so sorry if there are a few mistakes:))

So big question:) How do i get ownership back on the file so that i could upload this to here and/or virustotal to check if its ok or not:)

 

Thank you very much in advance.

Found the .json file and the hash:

so its a false positive, at least i think it is.:) Could i get my file back somehow please:) Not that i need it that urgently (or at all, i have backup etc... but .....:)) but would be nice to know how to get it back:) U know I'm more curious then concerned.... Or did i stumble on a new ransomware????? I think not, but let me know:)
