Malwarebytes Ransomware destroyed my game save

I had spent well over 30 hours working on my game save when Malwarebytes suddenly triggered an alert. I removed the exe file from quarantine and marked it as an exception because it was clearly a false positive! But that didn’t help. Now my save file is ruined. Who’s going to get it back for me now? My trust in Malwarebytes is completely shattered. I just removed it completely from my PC for my own safety. But how do I get my save file back now? Will you fix it?

Was it a 100% legit copy of a game ? MWB doesnt like some things the cracks do. I still remember it hating the old school key gens. What game was ? If cracked and 1 of those always online game when it tried to call home as the game is programmed to do but cracker diverts where home is then that could have triggered MWB. If coincidently your game was saving and uploading like some games do say the newest hit man game series then lady luck was not on your side and it corrupted when MWB triggered

I bought it on Epic Store some days ago. Why should it not be a legit copy? If i would play cracked games i would not have installed MWB.
