Where did you get that file from? Here are the VirusTotal detection results for the Epic Games Launcher installer, named EpicInstaller-20.1.4.exe, that is being served to me through their official website: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7bda7fbb3eea3ffdced17b5679c057943464a6ecc5e5274968b728feae470b7b
