So I just ran a malware check on my computer using the free version of Malware Bites and it has just identified 2 threats that appeared to be coming from League of Legends/Riot games. They had something to do with a Virus Injector and were identified as malware. I've been playing this game for a little over 2 years now and I've never had any issues, so I'm just trying to figure out if there's something that might be going around and I wanted to bring attention to it
Just took another look at it, it says Virus.Injector.LoL and the location was a couple of numbers/deploy/LoLClient.exe

Hey guys,
Riot xNymia here, I work in the InfoSec team. Im working with Malwarebytes right now to get this false positive removed.
The False positive was introduced to their viral definitions in the latest update, you can work around this my whitelisting the Riot Games / League folder in the malwarebytes configuration.
Ill be back with an update once I have confirmation that malwarebytes are working on it.
Update: FP report is in, still waiting to hear back from them. Keep whitelisting if you have this issue, then repair via launcher!
Update2: Malwarebytes have confirmed false positive and are updating their definitions to remove this. Hurrah!
(Yes I know I don't have a flare, I'm new and working on getting it!)

Hey guys,
Just want to confirm that this post is legitimate.
Malware Bytes justed blocked league from launching because of this Virus.Injector.LoL virus. I have never had this happen before. I hope you are right when you say "false positive". I can't run the game because of this.
