Bitdefender suddenly started to flag all self extracting compressed file (*.exe) made via WinRAR
The following notification pop up earlier
This never pop up before this and I've already made dozens and dozens of compressed self extracting *.exe file throughout the years.
I only updated the WinRAR compression app a month ago to the latest 7.01 if that makes any difference, but it is to be noted that even the self extracting files made by an older version of WinRAR also got flagged as infected by the latest version of Bitdefender Total Security.
Can someone confirm whether this is a false positive, or do I have something to worry about here?
