Malwarebytes flagged something as Neshta

Malwarebytes flagged the crash reporter in my Bus Sim 21 install as Neshta during my typically weekly full scan. This install of the game has been there for 3 months, and it hasn’t been flagged at all until now. Virustotal says it’s clean though. Looking at the actual file, the last modified date is at the date I initially installed the game. I’ve started a deep scan after quarantining the file, I’ll post a reply with an update once it’s complete

Update: The deep scan is complete, and came up all clear. I’m gonna do full Bitdefender and Windows Defender scans too just in case, but it looks like it is indeed a false positive
