So I just opened the game as usually and suddenly appeared this message, I checked out if there was any info about this in the forums but looks like I could be one of a few.

I downloaded the game from the official Kabam site just to give some info, anyone knows what could this be?

I guessed its just a false positive but idk

    My guess is your anti-virus is detecting the peer to peer download feature of the game. Turn that off and see if the detection goes away. It should be in settings (the icon at the lower left) under Connection.

    "IDP Generic" is a detection type used by some anti-virus and anti-malware security software to signal they've detected something squirrely, but can't identify precisely what that is.

    Weird enough, I reinstalled and it went smooth again, thanks for the help!
