exe shows as "idp ares generic"

Postby Ecthelon » 20 Jun 2019, 16:09

I tried to launch a game today and the client updated the game. Now my antivirus is warning me that forgedalliance.exe is a virus (idp ares generic). Should I be concerned?

Or it's just the anti-virus complaining about the anti-smurf measures trying to profile your pc. Someone else made a post about this also, are you running avg?

Not sure what a supply train attack is. I'm using Avast antivirus.
