Doesn't anybody test their software before it goes live anymore?
Game developers are one of the worst for this, Unless you happen
to be running the exact same machine as the dev, chances are it's broken.

Webroot antivirus mistakenly flags Windows as malware
Posted: 25 Apr 2017
Tough day for anyone running Webroot antivirus.
A malware signature update issued by the company on Monday triggered the software into mistakenly flagging Windows system files as malware, melting down millions of managed systems around the world.

Security commentator SwiftOnSecurity tweeted that the Webroot issue was only live for 13 minutes, but the company's efforts to remediate the problem were getting stalled due to the sheer volume of clients requiring a fix.
The company, which claims to have more than 30 million users, has so far suggested fixes for the Home edition and its Business edition software, but the company has yet to offer anything universal or concrete for its entire affected user base at the time of writing.
A Webroot spokesperson confirmed the issue and that the company is "in the process of creating a fix," but did not say when it would arrive.
