AVG antivirus on my desktop is reporting telegram dot exe, in users\appdata\roaming, for phishing. I am getting these reports every few minutes, usually whenever I do anything in telegram. It just started last night. Never had this issue before.
I am wondering if it may be a false positive, and how to stop it.
Any help will me much appreciated.
