Windows Defender reports binary as containing a Bitcoin miner

I assume "Secrets Of Grindea.exe" doesn't actually contain a Bitcoin miner, so I thought you'd want to know that Defender is misfiring, in case there's any way you can work with Microsoft to fix their classifier.

Thanks a lot! I'll send a report over to Microsoft to hopefully get it sorted.

Is that the Win10 version of Windows Defender you're running?

I'm having the same issue! I thought I was the only one...!
It's strange cause it worked fine for a few sessions, then that weird thing popped up, hope it can be fixed soon cause unfortunately both my main game and Arcade save files are tied to the latest frontline...!
If it helps, I'm running Windows 10 pro, good luck with the developement!

Yes, Windows 10; no customizations or major changes to settings.

@87BlackM you should be able to tell Defender to ignore it; check in the Windows Defender settings. My guess is it decided to quarantine the executable for you (though for me it only notified me but didn't take any action, go figure).

Yes, for me it prevented to play the game completely but thank you, by tampering with it a little I managed to make it work, for now...!
