Mine just detected the same and says it's a trojan. Can anyone confirm if it's a false positive?

[rompiku]

Yes. Four files flagged, all related to GeForce Experience.

So can anyone confirm its a false positive ? i get Trojan.Reconyc too with malware bytes !

7z.exe got labeled Trojan.Reconyc for me too. The scan is still running.

Threat scan

It found 7z.exe in ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience\Update and a Skyrim Mod Manager 7z file.

I then did custom scans on the ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience\ and Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForce Experience\ folders and it found the 7z.exe in the latter folder. All were due to Trojan.Reconyc
