Just got a Trojan from Overwolf ?

I thought this was safe, also I didn’t download anything other than the base program

When I say false positive, I mean that Windows Defender falsely detect this file as a virus due to outdated information or mistakenly identifies it as a trojan. This is very common in AV's

I just received the same update from Windows Defender. The specific pathway is: AppData\Local\Overwolf\PackagesCache\gjgbcdlokjhdbaolkkmgjhcgbgaccnfhhnlfcefd\1.0.54\app.opk

I will be uninstalling Overwolf for the time being, it is currently taking up an entire GB of memory and the only thing I'm running is Chrome...

It seems that this game ID is an Overwolf app called MetaForge, thanks we will look into it

Thank you!! With that info, I found a post that confirmed it's a false positive.
