.exe file blocked for containing virus

This morning after patching eve at downtime caused my anti virus to throw up a window.
I guess my exe file contained some type of virus and now I can’t log into the game.
I am now unable to log in and I’m getting an Error.
This is the first time I have ever seen this and the first time my virus protection blocked EvE.
Am I the only one that got this or is this working as intended?

I certainly didn’t get it, with Malwarebytes.

You should be able to create an ‘Exception’ in your AV software, allowing EVE to start up normally.

Me neither.

And I’m back with a fresh reinstall.
Welcome to EvE where you have to learn how to flash your motherboard and reinstall windows every month to stay competitive.

Hello @CCP_Swift ,

Same fight ! After the update of this day 15/11/2022, here is Windows 11 22H2 and Norton 360 security panicking:

Are you familiar with the latest cybersecurity protocols at CCP?
Can you correct this please?

There prices are the new virus

It’s a false positive. Just be glad your boot.ini file is still intact.

Threat Blocked

We’ve blocked QtWebEngineProcess.exe because it was infected with IDP.Generic.

OK !

After installing the new CCP launcher that was just suggested to me when trying to launch the app again, the issue seems to be resolved.

Thanks !
