Game.exe files have died...?

Today I opened my project's folder, and my Antivirus said that Game.exe contains a virus. I clicked "Heal", and the file got deleted... So I went to another project's folder to copy the Game.exe file back, but when I opened the folder, same thing happened. I realized it happens whenever I open a folder that contains Game.exe... The Antivirus just kept deleting those files claiming they contain viruses O_O Then I wanted to open RMXP to try the Playtest, but instead of opening RMXP, it opened an installation for RMXP O_O That was really weird but I installed it and it worked fine after that... Then when I clicked the Playtest, it gave me an error "Failed to create process". Also, when I try to create a new project, it says "Failed to copy folder", and then the Antivirus once again tells me that a Game.exe file contains a virus.
I haven't tried much, all I tried is restarting the computer and deleting RMXP then re-installing it, nothing helped.
I really don't understand what's going on, i've RMXP for a very long time now and this is the first time it happens. If anyone could help, i'll appreciate it.

That's weird, happened to me today as well.

I don't really know the cure, but you can start with adding your game.exe to the list of exceptions in your virusscanner. That didn't help with me, but others say it works.

Now I'm going to try to replace all files except my game.rxproj from my back-up with the original ones. Let's see if that helps.

Whoa, if you're going to do that you should back up all the original files first.

Funny thing is, now I overwrote my new files with the older back up and lost 4 hours of work. Now I'm pissed.

As I asked on my dutch homeforum as well, is there a way to turn that around again?
