Outlook flagged as Ransomware


I just did a system scan of my computer and Bitdefender called out Outlook.pst as Ransomware and blocked Outlook.exe.  I am pretty sure this is a false positive but is there anyway to be sure before I add Outlook to my trusted list.  This is the first time this has happened in the 7 months that I have been using Bitdefender so that is why I am questioning this issue.  Thanks for any help in the matter.

    I have the same problem.
    To unlock apps, go to:
    SECURITY -> SEE CHARACTERISTICS
    Then the bottom right module
    SAFETY FILLES-> APPLICATION ACCESS, where to set access to these blocked applications

    I apologize for the faulty English language used
