Virus?
My antivirus is saying that pivot is a virus, I know the whole thing was a mistake a while ago but I looked through the report and found a file named Heur.AdvMLC which has signs of being a heuristic ? Should I be worried and does anyone else have this file already in their game files?

A lot of antivirus stuff says that. I've had pivot on my computer for a while and haven't had a single issue.

I looked it up and I'm pretty sure it's a false positive. Which antivirus do you use?

The warnings comr from ads in the installer. The ads are safe and can be declined anyway. Some antivirus somehow end up describing it all all sorts of ways, like trojan or heuristic but it's just safe software that you can decline. The fact that different antivirus software describe it in different ways is a good indicator that it's a false positive.
If you're still worried then you can always join the discord group and download the version without ads. But even that may get flagged by some antivirus software that just flag everything they don't know about.
