    I just tried to open SSLS and my antivirus detected someting in shellshock.exe file and put it in the chest.
    I had to restore it to get game running.
    Anyone else had that problem?

    Most security scanners do this the first time when something new is inserted into the computer. They put their guard up, ensuring it isn't a virus. If you pull it back, it notifies itself that it was safe, because you wouldn't have pulled it back if you didn't want it.
    This happened to me activating Terraria from GOG the first time. I would assume it would happen to everyone at some point, especially if it is a new game or one you haven't been to recently.

    This is in norwegian but the placement is the same.
    Just rightclick on the file and choose restore.

    Sometimes your antivirus can accidentally quarantine certain files, a simple restore and clicking "ignore this file" if there is an option for it, should resolve it.

    Most of the time when this happens, the file is unrecognized or unpopular/uncommonly downloaded. Antivirus archive programs and such and categorize them as safe/dangerous, so anything that doesn't fit in their archive becomes an unknown threat.
