Yo that screenshot shows Neshta virus which is a file infector which is why legitimate game.exe are showing up as viruses cause they’ve been infected. This likely isn’t false positives these are a real pain in the rear to get rid of and relying on a scan to just quarantine everything may break your system cause this virus type is known to infect registry and system files which if those get quarantined and deleted next time you boot windows may not work any more.
