Hello, I'm afraid I have a bit of a problem. I'm not sure if it's a problem with minecraft or my antivirus, if it isn't I'll contact the antivirus company.
I was able to open minecraft yesterday with no issues whatsoever, the launcher updated and I went on my way.
I tried to open it today when my antivirus suddenly chimed in to inform me that my minecraft launcher was a backdoor and that it had been moved to quarantine. No matter how many times I try and add an exception and move it out of quarantine, it puts it right back in with the same message.
Here is a hopefully helpful screenshot:
System is a Windows 7, Java fully updated, minecraft version is 1.7.10 running many, many mods (Will provide list if needed). Antivirus is Avira free edition.
I would very much appreciate some help here. Just tell me if more information is needed.
I can report the same problem, but with a different setup:
I have been running Minecraft version 1.9.4 (downloaded from mojang directly) without any problems, but today I tried to upgrade to 1.10.2.
I tried both the download manager, and the offline version, and both triggered the same Avira message about Minecraft containing a backdoor called BDS/Bladabindi.bryb.
I choose to trust Avira, and will continue to use version 1.9.4 until Microsoft has corrected this problem.

Hi,
