EQ Causing Windows Defender False Positive After Patch

    Hi Devs,

    Just letting you know EQ (Test client/updater) is now causing a false positive as a Trojan after the last patch. This is happening even with Windows Defender. This may have to do with the recent technologies put in place to protect Truebox TLP servers. Given that many of us on Windows rely on Windows Defender, or other services, this may be something to fix sooner rather than later.

    Note this triggers on eqgame.exe as well as the actual process. Given nothing else on this system has changed before and after the last patch on Test, the latest update is obviously at fault.

    Also, as a side note, the only workaround involves adding a Win32/Detplock exception to my computer. I should not have to raise the risk of my desktop to play EQ.

    It appears Windows Defender isn't the only AV Engine triggering either...
