Wowhead Client being ID'd as malware

After an update, Wowhead Client is being flagged as malware by Bitdefender (and Kaspersky) and removed to quarantine. Is this a false positive?

More info:

"Feature:Advanced Threat DefenseBitdefender detected potentially malicious behavior and blocked all applications involved.
Detection ID: SuspiciousBehavior C6BC4A1C35F8880C"

The Wowhead software's dev team are aware of the issue via their Discord server. The software is at Site faviconWowhead Client

    Hello.

    My specs:

    Asus X551CA
    Core i3-3217U 1.8GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB DDR3, 120GB SATA-III SSD
    OS Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64 With Latest Windows Updates Installed
    OS Build 19045.4355
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0

    As you can see from the screenshot, i can run the program without any issues/warnings.

    So, you should contact Bitdefender Consumer Support by chat, telephone or e-mail:
    Site faviconContact Support - Bitdefender

    Chat is the fastest way to get in touch with Bitdefender Consumer Support.

    Select: Prevention & Threat Removal -> Windows -> Threat Removal, click on Contact Support in the black box and then click on Chat 24/7.

    NOTE: Bitdefender telephone support is not toll-free!
    Regards.

  • The blip seems to have been resolved. I downloaded a new version this morning, checked it & rebooted.

    Now running without warnings.
