Paradox Launcher, False Positive

[BBGuy2023]

Hello - I believe the Paradox launcher (used for such games as Europa Universalis 4) may be throwing up false positive detections in Malwarebytes.

 

Today every time I tried to run EU4 through Steam, I got an RTP detection, called "Malware.AI.2616805100" 

 

Can you please look into this? Thank you!

I'm getting the exact same issue, it's blocking some random tmp.node file. I'm guessing it's something the Paradox launcher uses in the background.

Here's the latest log I've gotten from it:

Yes that's what i'm getting basically.

 

A quick update from me: I ran a scan and some files were quarantined of the same type as above. After deleting them it seems I can open the paradox launcher up again. Not sure what's going on - I saw a few other people post with similar reports.

Hi,

This should have been fixed already and no longer detected anymore.
