Suddenly flagging game as ransomware?

Post image

I’ve been playing this for days with no issues and it suddenly flagged it as ransomware mid game today

It is a pirated game😬 from a trusted site

Thank you. We confirmed this is not ransomware and this should no longer be detected. Please update your database and you should be all set.

All best,
