    Hello, figured i'd post this thread here since i couldn't find one pertaining to this kind of positive. I'll keep it short:
    I downloaded the MapleroyalsSetup.exe file, 1.6gigs, from the google drive link on https://royals.ms/?page=download
    After running a specific file scan on it with Avast, it came up positive, image and title related.

    Now, the sane part of my brain tells me that this is in all due probability a false positive and should be ignored, but i would still like to know if this has been seen/reported before, and if it is indeed a false positive or not.

    False positive courtesy of nx. Yes should be ignored. Turn off avast, install and once installed add the folder to the exception list and tada! Magic

    This is very appreciated. I was getting worried since I kept getting the same error. I almost did not want to bother, but decided to go ahead and give it a shot anyways and see if it was just possibly a false positive. This type of thing may need more attention.
