Minecraft Preview executable is detected as an infected file

SamuelMoore

Yesterday I was going to play Minecraft Preview but it wouldn't start as BitDefender was blocking it with a message saying that the file C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MinecraftWindowsBeta_1.19.1022.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Minecraft.Windows.exe was infected with Gen:Suspicious.Cloud.2.@F0@aWgHfkci

I tried to find the .exe file and send it to BitDefender but it was nowhere in the folder. I ran the BDSysLog app and send the log to BitDefender. Is this a false positive? Should I worry?

Hello.

"Suspicious.cloud" is a cloud based detection by Bitdefender which is independent of signature based detection that is created by malware researchers.

Could be a false positive or could not be a false positive.

In this case, only the malware research engineers at Bitdefender Labs can give you the correct answer to your question regarding the detection.

So, wait for their response.

Also, you could contact Bitdefender BOX Support:
