RPG MAKER MV virus?

[xpluffy]

I never had this problem before today I just turned on my computer and Norton keeps deleting rpgmv.exe. It keeps categorizing it as Heur.AdvML.B threat. I thought maybe the game got infected for some reason so I uninstall everything and re installed it from steam once again just to be safe. And Norton deletes rpgmv.exe

I'm getting paranoid now. It's a little hard for me to trust this file and restore it in Norton. I don't see why Norton would categorize this as high risk at all. Especially since this file just got updated to 1.31

RPG maker games are frequently pulled up as viruses by a number of antivirus programs.  They are not.  The same programs will be fine with it after they get another virus definition update or two.  It's a pain in the neck.  They are not viruses.

Make sure to put the RPG Maker MV application in the "whitelist" of programs and files that are excluded from malware detecting and treatment, otherwise it will just continue to delete it over and over again.

Norton has been known to false-positively detect RM and RM-Games a lot of times in the past. For one their heuristic scans are relatively aggressive compared to other antivirus scans, and for another it only needs a single infected RM-game anywhere to convince them that all those games are viruses.
